FLAG announces 2027 Annual Meeting on Long Island, NY

Flexo Label Advantage Group LLC (FLAG), the largest community of independent label converters in the industry, has announced that its 2027 Annual Meeting will take place May 17 – 19, 2027 on Long Island, New York, with long-time FLAG Member K-Sidrane serving as this year’s host company.

Each year, the FLAG Annual Meeting brings together independent converter Members and world-class Vendor Partners for several days focused on strengthening businesses, building relationships and sharing ideas that Members can take back to their own companies.

The 2027 meeting will once again feature many of the experiences that have made the event a must-attend for the FLAG community, including Peer Group meetings, the Vendor Partner Tabletop Exhibition, educational sessions, Member roundtables, networking events and FLAG’s annual Awards Dinner.

A highlight of this year’s event will be an exclusive visit to K-Sidrane, a multi-generation, family-owned independent converter with deep roots on Long Island and a strong focus on the future of digital label and flexible packaging production. Founded by the Sidrane family, the company has evolved significantly through each generation. Today, K-Sidrane operates an extensive digital production platform and has made major investments in flexible packaging, including the opening of a dedicated flexible packaging operation in 2023.

For K-Sidrane, hosting the Annual Meeting will provide an opportunity to share that evolution with fellow FLAG Members while opening the door to the kind of candid peer conversation that defines the FLAG community.

“I’m excited for Members to see how deeply we’ve invested in digital and what that technology has allowed us to do as a company,” says Adam Sidrane, vice president of K-Sidrane. “The networking is such a big part of FLAG for me, so I’m also looking forward to having everyone here, hearing their feedback and sharing ideas about where we can all continue to improve.”

“Long Island is going to be an incredible setting for our 2027 Annual Meeting, and K-Sidrane is exactly the kind of Member company we love having host this event,” comments JC McKay, president of FLAG. “They’re a family-owned independent that continues to invest, grow and push their business forward. Giving Members the opportunity to see what they’ve built, while spending three days learning from one another and connecting with our Vendor Partners, is what the FLAG Annual Meeting is all about.”

Additional details on speakers, educational programming, networking events and other Annual Meeting activities will be announced in the coming months.
