Want to share something interesting about the packaging industry?

If you have packaging-related knowledge that you would like to share with the Australian packaging industry, the place to do it is at the Australian Institute of Packaging’s National Conference.

Designed for everyone, from packaging designers, technologists and engineers to sales and marketing people, the biennial conference is the largest packaging conference of its kind in Australia and New Zealand.

Next year’s conference is scheduled for 18 and 19 June at the Sofitel Wentworth in Sydney and the call is out for papers and speakers across all facets of the packaging industry.

The conference’s theme is Packaging & Innovation Excellence and the two-day educational program will cover this theme and more.

It is expected that delegates from all facets of the packaging industry - technologist and management levels (such as development, marketing, production, supply chain and logistics personnel) to equipment suppliers, raw material providers, users of packaging, retailers and consumers - will attend the event.

The AIP intends to break the conference predominantly into breakout sessions after the opening and keynote presentations to ensure that a diverse range of issues and topics is covered over the two days. The AIP is looking for a broad range of speakers from all areas of the packaging industry to ensure that the AIP National Conference offers something for everyone.

All interested parties are encouraged to submit an abstract for consideration as a presentation under the theme Packaging & Innovation Excellence. The timing of abstracts and papers is Friday, 13 December 2013. To access a call for papers, please log on to www.aipack.com.au under the conference section or email info@aipack.com.au.

The program will deliver an extensive array of topical and technical sessions and is open to all members and non-members of the institute alike. Set in a relaxed environment, this is the not-to-be-missed event on the industry calendar so book early to avoid disappointment.
