10 NEWS | www.packagingnews.com.au | January-February 2022 Stage set for advanced AUSPACK 2022
REGISTRATIONS for AUSPACK 2022, the southern hemisphere’s leading processing and packag- ing trade event, are now open.
The globally recognised, long- running biennial event, which is part of Packaging and Processing Week, is heading back to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on 17-20 May, 2022. It brings expanded busi- ness sessions and improved online searchable directories to enhance visitors’ ability to tailor and plan their visit.
Mark Dingley, chairman of the Australian Packaging & Processing Machinery Association (APPMA), which owns AUSPACK, said, “AUSPACK 2022 will showcase a host of global mega trends in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing and packaging indus- tries. As the first industry expo since 2019, it will be the perfect place for people across the pack- aging and processing sectors to find solutions to increase effi- ciencies across their business.”
This year, more than 250 sup- pliers representing hundreds of global brands will be on the show floor, offering visitors solutions that address a range of industry trends and themes. AUSPACK 2022 will allow attendees to see first hand, products that offer
enhanced safety, security, auto- mation and cost-saving benefits. The AUSPACK Leaders Forum, from 18-19 May, will offer busi- ness owners the opportunity to benchmark as an organisation of the future, gain knowledge and inspiration, and network with like-minded, forward-thinking leaders. Key themes include future supply chain; adapting and diversifying for commer- cial success; future technology; sustainability and the circular economy; investment and col- laboration; and future workforce. The expanded Solutions Theatres at AUSPACK 2022 will give visitors in-depth overviews of technology, solutions and
strategies, with sessions covering supply chain and procurement; education; preventative mainte- nance; materials and packaging design; network security; the circular economy; the future of manufacturing and warehous- ing and more.
The exhibition floor will also feature an array of new zones: IT & Services, Processing Equipment, Packaging and Packaging Materials, and Packaging Machinery, making navigation easier
Behind-the-scenes enhance- ments to the exhibitors’ directory will allow visitors to search for specific areas, while the highly searchable Leaders Forum will
allow visitors to find topics that suit their interests. Both enhance- ments mean visitors can plan their time at AUSPACK 2022, resulting in a rewarding experience.
Entry to the APPMA Awards of Excellence have also opened, and close on 4 March. Winners will be announced at the Gala Awards Ceremony on 18 May on day two of AUSPACK 2022. Tickets for both the Awards Gala Night and Leaders Forum are on sale from February.
The AUSPACK 2022 website is continually being updated with speakers, events and news.
Tickets to the exhibition are free and are now available on the website. ■
