Packaging professionals attending the Australasian Packaging Conference next week are invited to join an insightful session, 'Packaging Voices: Global Innovation Snapshots from IPPO', led by Lindy Hughson, president of the International Packaging Press Organisation (IPPO), with contributions from top global packaging journalists.

In a curated video presentation in Keynote Session 6, on Day Two, packaging journalists from across the globe — representing the USA, Turkey, Sweden, France, Belgium, South Africa, India and Brazil — will share short, sharp reports on standout innovations from their markets. Covering breakthroughs in materials, circular design, recycling, and reuse, each contribution offers a unique lens on how different regions are pushing packaging towards a more sustainable and consumer-centric future.

Weaving these contributions together, Hughson will provide live commentary, drawing connections between global trends and local opportunities.

This fast-paced, hour-long session is a rare opportunity to see the global packaging landscape through the eyes of experts embedded in their local industries — delivering fresh ideas, inspiration, and valuable perspectives for brand owners, designers, technologists, and sustainability leaders.
