Conversations from the APPEX show floor will be flowing on Stand B095, with the PKN Packaging News team bringing the livestream PKN Podcast to APPEX. Food & Drink Business editor, Kim Berry, will also be on hand. 

We’re inviting exhibitors and visitors to join us to share innovation news and your views of the industry’s biggest trade show coming up on 12-15 March at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre (MCEC).

As media partner to APPEX, PKN will be exhibiting at the show on stand B095, together with sister media brands Food & Drink Business and Print21. A highlight on the stand will be the live PKN Podcast studio, where we'll be recording short livestream conversations at APPEX, speaking to visitors and exhibitors about their APPEX experience and innovation on the show floor.

The PKN team will also be filming live video interviews and posting daily updates to deliver a continuous news feed to the Australian packaging and processing industry.
