Nashville, TN: At the recent TLMI Annual Meeting in Phoenix, AZ, TLMI partnered with Adam Peek, Senior Vice President of Sales at Meyers and founder of the People of Packaging Podcast, offering live stream interviews with association members that ran in conjunction with the duration of the meeting. During the event, Peek, known as the ‘Packaging Pastor’, conducted live interviews with TLMI members discussing industry trends and the changing state of print in the current business landscape.

Reinforcing the association’s core values of Community, Insight and Advocacy, TLMI plans to partner with Peek at future meetings and to make the interviews available to all members, in addition to the greater industry, via TLMI’s social media channels and member Community portal. Peek comments, “As a longtime member of TLMI, it was great to attend my first Annual Meeting! The joy of relational proximity between industry leaders and the energy it created was palpable, especially in light of all the virtual meetings we’ve been on in the last two and a half years. It really helped me to further validate what I already know; packaging is awesome and the label industry is a huge part of that. We are only going to grow in importance as greater light is shed on the issues surrounding packaging’s impact on climate change, so knowing we have colleagues who advocate for our industry is great and learning from then in person is even better.”
