The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) and the Australian Packaging & Processing Machinery Association (APPMA) are currently at the planning stage of the 2015 National Technical Forums that will be held as a part of Packaging & Processing Week at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from March 24 to 26, 2015.
Following a number of highly successful National Technical Forums over the last six AUSPACK exhibitions, the 2015 National Technical Forum will be designed to deliver a three-day educational program that will cover a broad range of topics relating to the theme 'Open Innovation & Collaboration'.
The 2015 Packaging & Processing Week National Technical Forums will attract delegates from all facets of the packaging and processing industry of both technologist and management levels (such as design, development, marketing, production, engineering, supply chain and logistics personnel) to equipment suppliers, raw material providers, users of packaging, retailers and consumers.
The AIP and the APPMA intend to divide the National Technical Forums into breakout sessions, to ensure that a diverse range of issues and topics are covered over the three days. The AIP and the APPMA are looking for a broad range of speakers from all areas of the packaging, processing, materials and component sectors to ensure that the National Technical Forums offer something for everyone.
A list of topic areas is available for consideration. These topics should be considered from the point of view of technical, environmental and consumer issues. This list is not limiting and any additional ideas would be welcomed.
Those interested in addressing the Forum are invited to submit an abstract for consideration as a presentation under the theme ‘Open Innovation & Collaboration'. The deadline for abstracts is Friday, November 7, 2014.
