Our regions organise speaker evenings, workshops, seminars, conferences and various social events on a regular basis. These are intended to be both educational, and to provide a forum where packaging professionals can network with each other (and occasionally, just have some fun!).
This section of our website lists those activities which will be taking place, or have taken place, in each of our regions during the current year (and possibly early into the new year) You are most welcome to attend (whether or not you are a member) - please contact the Regional Secretary of the Institute for the region concerned, for up to date information and for scheduled dates of events.
The next Main Menu item FURTHER INFORMATION ON EVENTS (click HERE) may contain some greater detail on some of the events mentioned, where this detail has been supplied. If not, please contact the region concerned. Where further information is available the date of the event is followed by the symbols ++, for example 24 May ++.
Dates shown are in respect of events planned for this year so are all in 2010 unless otherwise stated, and are provisional. This table may, in the early part of the year, show few events, as the programme of events for the year is normally decided at the first or second committee meetings of the year.
Please visit the events photo gallery also (next sub menu item or click HERE) to see some pictures of the technical and informational value events, and those involving fun and games!
You can click on the main menu item CONTACT US (click HERE) for regional contact details.
DETAILS OF PLANNED 2010 EVENTS ARE STILL AWAITED FROM SOME REGIONS.
