PKN's popular Women in Packaging forum is back! Themed Champions of Change: Women Walking the Talk, this year the event will take place as a luncheon and afternoon forum on 10 November, at State Library Victoria's Conversation Quarter.
Women in Packaging 2022 will include several keynote speakers and a panel discussion, featuring women in our industry who are leaders in the sustainability movement, who are “walking the talk” by pioneering new solutions, developing policies and industry programs, and taking authentic action that will drive true, sustainable change.
