Calling all packaging and processing speakers

If you work in the packaging, processing, materials or component sectors and you’ve got something to share with your colleagues about packaging and processing innovation and design, now is your chance!

The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) and the Australian Packaging & Processing Machinery Association (APPMA), are currently planning the 2017 National Technical Forums that will be held as a part of Packaging & Processing Week in March 2017.

Following a number of highly successful National Technical Forums over the last seven AUSPACK exhibitions, the 2017 National Technical Forum will deliver a three-day educational program covering a broad range of topics relating to the theme Packaging & Processing Innovation & Design.

To be held at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, 7–9 March 2017, the Packaging & Processing Week National Technical Forums will attract delegates from all facets of the packaging and processing industry from both technologist and management levels (including design, development, marketing, production, engineering, supply chain and logistics personnel) as well as equipment suppliers, raw material providers, users of packaging, retailers and consumers.
