With packaging technology evolving at breakneck pace, a conference that brings the Australian industry the latest developments, delivered by local and global experts, is surely a must attend for every packaging team?

Every two years the Australian packaging industry has an opportunity to gather in one forum, learn about new technology and directions, contribute meaningfully to industry dialogue, and network with colleagues and customers.

The biennial national conference put on by the industry's peak education body, the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), this year promises to surpass all others, with registrations already exceeding previous numbers.

AIP has pulled out all the stops to deliver the most comprehensive presentation line-up covering topical issues, game-changing technology and disruptive trends driving packaging innovation.

The action-packed programme is punctuated with special events, including the PIDA Awards and WorldStar Awards, the inaugural Women in Industry breakfast forum, and a special once-off Fundamentals of Packaging Technology training course run by US expert, Jane Chase.
