USPACK 2022, the largest event of its type in the southern hemisphere, is on track for an exciting show next month. Mark Dingley, chairman of the Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA), which owns AUSPACK, said, “The main exhibition is free to the industry to attend across all four days, and registrations have been very good so far. The anticipation behind the show across the industry has been building due to this event being the first inperson show since 2019.” Dingley said tickets for the AUSPACK Leaders Forum went on sale last month, with many taking advantage of the “super early bird” from 4 March. Tickets will be available on the website. “In the true spirit of hybrid offerings, we’ve made online tickets available for those who can’t attend the in-person sessions or choose not to. These offer great value.” 40 APRIL 2022 Manufacturers’ Monthly
He said the AUSPACK Business Leaders’ Forum, which will take place during the middle two days of the main exhibition, 18-19 May, will also run onsite at the MCEC. “We created the AUSPACK Leaders Forum to offer business owners the opportunity to benchmark their businesses as an organisation of the future, gain knowledge and inspiration, and network with likeminded, forward-thinking leaders. “We have chosen the forum topics by what’s necessary on the business front across the manufacturing sector: Australia is at a critical recovery stage after the COVID-19 pandemic with supply chain disruption, sustainability demands and technology and automation leaps, then combine that with fast-paced changes in consumer buying habits, environmental impact and regulation and governance. All of these factors are driving unprecedented organisational transformation in
manufacturing and the packaging and processing industry.” Dingley encouraged attendees to visit the program online, to see the full range of presentations across the two days, which fit into the key themes of Future Technology, Sustainability & The Circular Economy, Investment & Collaboration, Future Supply Chain, Adapting & Diversifying for Commercial Success
and Future Workforce. The highly searchable online program means if attendees just want to attend certain sessions, they can filter for those interests and “favourite” them.
