AIP unveils breakout National Conference format

The role of innovation in driving packaging excellence will be the theme for next year's Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) biennial national conference.

The AIP has announced the conference will be held on 17-18 June at the Sofitel Wentworth Hotel in Sydney.

With the program currently in the planning stages, the Institute is now calling for papers from speakers across all facets of the packaging industry.

Individuals and companies interested in presenting to the event are encouraged to submit an abstract for consideration, under the theme Packaging and Innovation Excellence, by 13 December.

In order to deliver a broad range of presentations of interest to a wider audience of packaging industry professionals, the AIP also said it would break from tradition in its program schedule.

Apart from the opening and keynote presentations, the AIP said it intends to split the conference predominantly into breakout sessions to ensure that a diverse range of issues and topics are covered over the two days.
