Run by industry for industry, the AIP National Conference has been leading the way in professional and personal development for decades and is a part of the annual Packaging & Processing Week. In 2018, Member Countries from the World Packaging Organisation will be heading to Australia to speak and participate in the week.

The AIP will be hosting the 100th World Packaging Organisation Board meetings alongside the 2018 AIP National Conference 2018 and WorldStar Packaging Awards.

These events will bring all of the key packaging associations from across the world to Queensland in May.

Packaging and processing innovation and design awards

The WorldStar Packaging Awards is the annual flagship event for the World Packaging Organisation (WPO) and is the pre-eminent international award in packaging. The WorldStar Packaging Awards illustrate the continual advancement of the state of packaging design and technology, and create a living standard of international packaging excellence from which others may learn.

The PIDA (Packaging & Processing Innovation & Design Awards) are designed to recognise companies and individuals who are making a significant difference in their field. The PIDAs are designed to recognise materials/packaging and also machinery/equipment.
