Easy Integration
Connect with Women in Packaging and Processing The Packaging & Processing Women’s Leadership Network (PPWLN) breakfast takes place Tuesday, Sept. 28 from 7:15 am to 9:00am (Room N-247). Everyone has had to work differently over the past year, with some adjustments driving long-term transformation in the way we work. Things like increased digitalization and automation on the plant floor, the push for diversity and gender parity, and how to attract the next generation workforce, are all creating the new world of work. PPWLN welcomes Tracey Noonan, co-founder of Wicked Good Cupcakes, as the keynote speaker, who will then sit down with OEM Magazine editor Stephanie Neil, as well as Yolanda Malone, vice president of global RD Foods at PepsiCo, and AJ Jorgenson, vice president of strategic engagement at The Manufacturing Institute, for a candid conversation about the future of work in manufacturing. The event is sponsored by Emerson, ID Technology, Morrison Container Handling Solutions, Plexpack, Septimatech, and SMC.
