So, what can you expect at AUSPACK’s highly anticipated event this year? AUSPACK attracts over 7,000 senior executives, engineers, and technical personnel involved with the purchasing of capital equipment, machinery, and production equipment technology. The last time the event was held was in 2019, so this year’s event is going to be bigger than ever before. There will be over 350 exhibitors across 40+ verticals, including food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care sectors.
The event will host Solutions Seminar Theatres, which include curated sessions providing in-depth overviews of technology, solutions, and strategies. The seminars allow attendees to dive deeper into solutions and solve complex problems, particularly in relation to packaging and packing materials, processing and equipment, future manufacturing, sustainability, supply chain, preventative maintenance, packaging design, future and consumer trends, and so much more.
There will also be the highly respected AUSPACK Leaders' Forum Conference, which is sponsored by Matthews. During the conference, attendees will hear from the sharpest minds in business and industry as they share the latest thinking and explore the crucial themes affecting the future of Australian manufacturing. Topics will focus on providing an insight into what your business will look like in 3, 5, and 10 years. Additionally, it will discuss where you can benchmark your progress as an organisation of the future, as well as help you to gain knowledge and inspiration, and network with like-minded, forward-thinking leaders.
With speakers from Coles, La Trobe University, CSIRO Agriculture & Food, Woolworths Group, Nestle Oceania, and Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO)—among many others—this event is not to be missed.
AUSPACK will also be hosting the APPMA Awards of Excellence, which is the national awards program for the Australian packaging and processing industry.
