The new merged association for flexo and label is hosting its annual technical forum later this month, at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from October 19-20.

The Flexible Packaging and Label Manufacturers Association (FPLMA) has its theme as ‘The World is Graphically Changing’, with the focus on technology developments, and says the conference is open to all, not just flexo and label printers.

According to its website the FPLMA says the event will ‘tackle the tsunami of innovation and technology’. It says attendees will hear and learn 'how these forces can be harnessed to propel the print industry into the future'.

Keynote speaker is Telstra Businesswoman of the Year Start Up winner Belinda Bronson, with food standards speakers from the US and Europe, and other international guests, presenting on new technologies, on workplace management, on process optimisation and on brand expectations.

The two day event culminates in the association's Awards ceremony, which will be held at the Metropolis on Southbank on the Friday evening.

Online registrations to attend are open until next Wednesday.
