That AUSPACK 2022 was a huge success was voiced directly from the show floor by the 50 exhibitors and visitors PKN recorded on the livestream podcast, the AUSPACK Files. In case you missed it, here's who we spoke to.
Taking the PKN podcast live to the showfloor was a first for our industry and for Yaffa Media, and industry response was resoundingly positive, with participants lining up to join the conversation. In terms of immediacy of news feed, it offered a fresh approach to delivering content, and a relatable way for our industry's professionals to share their news and views.
Mark Dingley, chairman of APPMA and also a guest on the show, said: “Auspack 2022 was a huge success across all key performance metrics, including the largest Australian exhibitor contingent we have ever had, as well as the largest business trade show to return in Australia post-Covid. More importantly, the return of face-to-face discussions with working machinery demonstrated the importance of our show in the industry, with all members we have had conversations with reporting exceptional results.
“To add the PKN Podcast to the show floor to stream live interviews and updates throughout each day was also seen as a big hit with people and for those that could not attend the show. We look forward to this continuing at APPEX in 2024.”
