Daniel J. Smith

Daniel Smith of BSI provides an overview of evolving environmental considerations for the food packaging industry, most notably regulatory trends and requirements associated with emerging contaminants such as Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), microplastics and phthalates. The presentation will also briefly discuss Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs and why the food packaging industry may be more impacted than other industries. Although these emerging environmental issues are not intended to target the food industry, the nature of materials used and manufacturing processes implemented will have a significant impact on the industry and the future of how products are made, tracked and managed. This presentation will provide an overview of recent regulatory trends and some of the specific regulations that will directly affect the food packaging industry as well as risk management strategies to identify and prioritize activities to mitigate risks.

We’ve all been told at some point or another, to just “think outside the box.” Well, that is easier said than done! With the new year and both its challenges and opportunities coming quickly upon us, let’s take a moment to discover and define what exactly this expression means and how we can use it as a tool for locating new avenues of approach. In this webinar led by Donald DeMont of Antonina’s Gluten-Free Bakery, participants will gain an enhanced perspective and insight into innovation and creative problem solving for products and processes.

A famous saying is that “Big things have small beginnings,” and this webinar with Donald DeMont of Antonina’s Gluten-Free Bakery will examine the interplay between tactics, strategy, and ultimately grand strategy. These misunderstood terms are not interchangeable but form a relational synthesis, which, when seen in their proper context, are like gears in the machinery of business. Participants will gain an understanding of the nature of strategy from the micro to the macro level and how the whole really is greater than the sum of its parts.

Donald DeMont

The rivalry between sales and marketing often stems from conflicting goals, different performance metrics, and poor communication. Sales teams are focused on revenue generation and closing deals, while marketing teams often focus on longer-term brand building and lead generation. This dichotomy can lead to friction when marketing feels their efforts in market penetration and brand awareness aren’t appreciated, while sales teams feel that marketing isn't providing enough support to close deals and grow sales. In this webinar, Donald DeMont of Antonina’s Gluten-Free Bakery explores the middle ground where communication and understanding bridge the divide between sales and marketing to create effective cross-functional teams.
