The PKN Podcast's studio manager Grant McHerron will be stationed on Stand B120, where he will host live conversations with exhibitors and visitors, who will share short soundbites of news on innovations from the show floor, special announcements, and everything that caught their attention from the aisles.

Co-hosting some of the podcast sessions will be PKN managing editor &  publisher Lindy Hughson; PKN editor, Colleen Bate; Print21 editor and PKN associate editor Wayne Robinson, and Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry.

Lindy Hughson said, "Across the four days of the show, we'll be talking to the industry's leading lights, covering technology advances, special milestones, important industry announcements, and of course, the APPMA Awards of Excellence winners."

The PKN Podcast AUSPACK FILES will be streamed on all podcast platforms during and after the show.

If you would like to be part of the conversation, reach out to editor@packagingnews.com.au, drop by the stand B120 at AUSPACK, or tee up a definite time for a recording session by contacting PKN's Sharon Amos on sharonamos@yaffa.com.au
