This year’s AUSPACK Leaders’ Forum offers a fully flexible program that allows attendees to purchase tickets to selected sessions most relevant to their business. 

New for 2022, the AUSPACK Leaders’ Forum, running on 18-19 May in Melbourne alongside the AUSPACK trade show (17-20 May), brings a programme of high-end, keynote presentations and panel discussions designed for key decision makers in the processing and packaging industries. 

With the new flexible program, attendees can choose from a variety of sessions across the two-day event to build the agenda that works for them.

Prices start from $150 a session, and attendees can pick and pack their agenda across the Forum, or register for the whole event with a two-day ticket. 

The programme has been structured to allow attendees plenty of time for networking between sessions and for visiting the AUSPACK show floor.

Available sessions across both days
