In partnership with the Flexible Packaging Association’s (FPA) Emerging Leadership Council (ELC), we invite you to the FPA 2026 FlexFly-In—a powerful opportunity to make your voice heard on Capitol Hill.

The FlexFly-in is a gathering of FPA members in the nation’s capital to meet with members of Congress, government officials, and other key decision-makers to advocate for issues, policies, and legislation that shape the future of the flexible packaging industry.

Why Attend?
Connect directly with federal legislators, policymakers, and key decision-makers to champion the future of the U.S. flexible packaging industry. Whether you're a seasoned participant or a first-timer, you’ll be paired with experienced advocates and receive comprehensive training to ensure you feel confident and prepared.
