By women for women: Interpack will be launching Unique Women in Packaging event for the first time on 8 May, running from 12 noon-2pm.
Interpack says it is proud to support women with their own event, and within the framework of the trade fair, to contribute to a diverse industry, to provide opportunities for more young talent to come in to the industry and for better chances for developing a long term career in a global community.
Under the title Unique Women in Packaging, Interpack will be hosting this inaugural event which has been explicitly designed to learn more about the women in the wider packaging and processing industries. Nerida Kelton, vice president Sustainability & Save Food, World Packaging Organisation, will be the moderator for this panel discussion.
Historically the packaging and processing industry has been predominantly shaped by men and until the last few decades women in leading positions are especially rare across the globe.
Globally we are seeing a scarcity of trained professionals in the industry and the Women in Packaging forum at Interpack will draw attention to barriers, challenges and opportunities for all women across the world to see the industry as an attractive place to establish a long-term career.
The five panellists are internationally successful, pioneers in their areas, marketing experts and founders of companies, role models and inspirations for others in this exciting industry we all work in.
This event will allow attendees to not only learn from the panellists' successes, challenges and career pathways but will also offer the chance to be able to profit from their advice, learnings and recommendations.
Sharing their experiences on the panel are Valentina Aureli, CEO of Aetna Group in Italy; Dr Afsaneh Nabifar, group leader for the global market development of biopolymers at BASF; Australian Nadia Taylor, co-founder and director tna solutions; Marjo Halonen, vice president communications at Metsä Board Corporation in Finland; and Gabi Bauer, head of marketing and communications at Uhlmann Pac-Systeme.
The Unique Women in Packaging forum will take place at Interpack on 8 May at 12pm in the International Lounge on the ground floor of the trade fair skyscraper and all of industry is invited to attend this very important inaugural event for the global processing and packaging industries.
The event is supported by the WPO – World Packaging Organisation.
