FPLMA seeks keynote speakers for Forum 2025

Australia-based Flexible Packaging and Label Manufacturers Association (FPLMA) has invited applications from potential keynote speakers to participate in its Forum event this August in Melbourne.

The FPLMA Forum, which will focus on adoption and innovation this year, will be held August 21-22 in Melbourne, Australia.

The association emphasized the need for businesses to adapt in order to remain competitive amidst rapid technological progress and evolving market conditions. FPLMA seeks thought leaders, industry innovators, and experienced professionals to share insights and guide its audience through these dynamic challenges.

The association invites speakers to present on topics that explore how organizations can embrace change, drive innovation, and excel in uncertain times.

Some potential topics include: building strategic partnerships through intelligent automation; innovations in technologies; market and consumer trends; harnessing the power of personalisation and customisation; embracing digital transformation with AI; and leveraging AI for sustainability as a competitive advantage.

‘As a speaker, you'll have the opportunity to share your insights, case studies, and practical strategies with a diverse audience of business leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators. Your contribution will help equip participants with the tools and knowledge needed to turn challenges into opportunities and drive their organisations forward,’ said the association in a statement.

Interested parties are encouraged to submit their brief on the FPLMA website.

The Forum event concludes with the highly anticipated FPLMA Print Awards, which recognize creativity, innovation, and technical excellence, providing a valuable opportunity to stand out in a competitive market. Winning one of these prestigious awards can significantly enhance credibility, reputation, and visibility, while also helping attract new clients or customers.

Awards are presented across multiple categories, including flexo, offset, letterpress, gravure, digital, combination, booklets, screen, and innovation.

All Best in Show and Gold-winning entries can participate in recognized international awards such as the FFTA (US), European Print Awards for Flexo and L9 World Label Awards.

Interested printers and converters are also encouraged to submit their work until the end of April 2025.
