      Reason #3: It’s free and a lot of fun.

      Many of conferences today require a hefty fee, plus food and lodging at a stuffy hotel ­– but not MasterMinds. Nosco recognizes the importance of industry-related events such as these and provides complimentary food and lodging throughout the three-day event. All we ask is that you cover your transportation to and from.

      Not bad, right? You’ll get out of the office, bounce ideas off of other packaging pros and let your creativity flow.

      So, what about the fun? When you attend MasterMinds, you will enjoy an evening reception with dinner and entertainment, a local outing and a few fun-filled activities. And while this year’s entertainment has yet to be announced, in the past we’ve had a lot of fun with things like scenic boat tours, Topgolf, wine tastings and even the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You won’t want to miss it! Plus, it’s a great opportunity to network with other industry peers.
