With 24 international speakers from 19 countries and 56 speakers spanning two-days, the 2018 AIP National Conference is the largest packaging conference of its kind in ANZ and will be held on 2 and 3 May this year.

Following the theme of Packaging Globalisation, the event will attract member countries from the World Packaging Organisation (WPO), with representatives heading to Australia to speak and participate.

The AIP is also hosting the prestigious international WorldStar Packaging Awards and the 2018 PIDA Awards at the gala dinner for the conference, as well as a Women in Industry Breakfast Forum.

Five international editors from the International Packaging Press Organisation (IPPO) will also be guest speakers during the two days.

It is anticipated that over 30 countries will be heading to Australia, making it a truly international must-attend educational event.
