Lord Mark Price, former minister of State for Trade and Investment, has been announced as a keynote speaker

 

The PPMA Show 2018, to be held at the NEC in Birmingham from 25 to 27 September, has unveiled its conference programme. 

The free to attend conference sessions will run over the first two days of the show in the Enterprise Zone, with a programme devised to focus on some topics such as Brexit, Industry 4.0, cyber security and automation, as well as tackling the ongoing debate surrounding the impact of plastics in packaging.

Headlining the programme will be Lord Mark Price, former minister of State for Trade and Investment, who will dedicate his keynote address to looking at how business can prepare for life post-Brexit, and Jonathan Warburton, chairman of Warburtons, who will address how to build long-term sustainable businesses. 

Visitors will also hear from Nick Brown, head of Sustainability at Coca-Cola, and a host of thought leaders from the processing and packaging industry, who will share their insight into how to improve production line efficiencies and future-proof operations.
