Do you have something to say about Packaging Globalisation?

The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) is currently recruiting speakers for its 2018 National Conference in Queensland. 

To be held at the Marriott Resort in Surfers Paradise on 2 and 3 May, the educational program will cover a broad range of topics relating to the theme of Packaging Globalisation.

The conference is aimed at packaging designers, technologists, engineers, sales and marketing professionals, and is the largest packaging and processing conference of its kind in Australia and New Zealand.

Run by industry for industry, the AIP National Conference is a part of the annual Packaging & Processing Week.
