There will be keynote presentations from over 20 thought leaders, including Josh Byrne as master of ceremonies, and Tristan Kitchener delivering the ESG keynote.

The event will include five interactive breakout sessions, where attendees can apply their newfound knowledge to real-world scenarios and leaving with actionable takeaways for immediate implementation.

The day will conclude with a networking sundowner, giving participants the chance to connect with like-minded professionals, forging collaborations, and sharing insights in a relaxed setting.

Packaging News

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
