The Australasian Institute of Packaging (AIP) Conference and the Packaging Innovation and Design Awards(PIDA)
The AIP conference and PIDA awards took place last week at the Crown Promenade. The event brought together experts in the field of packaging, sustainability, and circular economy, who shared their knowledge and insights on this pressing topic. Over the course of two days, more than 70 speakers provided their views on how to move forward with sustainable packaging solutions. The event provided a platform for discussion and collaboration, with attendees from various industries and backgrounds sharing their experiences and best practices.
Overall, the AIP conference and PIDA awards were a great success, with many valuable insights gained and new connections made. No doubt that events like this are crucial in driving progress towards a more sustainable future.
Anhely was part of a panel discussion for Women in Packaging, where the common theme was 'all migrants making an impact'. Alongside other panelists, Anhely shared her experiences and insights on the challenges of getting into a male-dominated industry. During the discussion, the panelists highlighted the importance of resilience and determination in order to succeed and continue contributing to the Packaging industry. They also shared their views on the need for greater diversity and inclusion within the industry, and the valuable contributions that individuals from different backgrounds can make.
