The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) is celebrating its 60th Anniversary this September with a rooftop dinner at the Crown Aviary, Melbourne.

The anniversary dinner will take place beneath the Melbourne skyline, with views of the city and the Yarra River framed by rooftop gardens. Crown Aviary offers a "breathtaking one-of-a-kind rooftop experience like no other", right in the heart of Melbourne. The dinner menu will be curated by award-winning executive chef, Kelly Jackson.

The formal dinner will take place on Friday 1 September, at 6:30pm. The price is $195 per person, or $1560 for a table of eight (both +GST).

The AIP has also coordinated discounted rates for accommodation at the Crown Promenade, and a number of other hotels within walking distance.
