 15.30 - 16.00        KEYNOTE: MEETING THE ENERGY CHALLENGE

                      Brett Wiskar, Chief Future Officer, Wiley

                      Growing costs and uncertainty around reliable energy sources is a significant issue for the manufacturing sector in Australia.
                      Society is taking a keen interest in how power is generated and consumed and policy frameworks are changing. The rise
                      of renewables is everywhere and for our industries to be sustainable (environmentally and economically) they must seek
                      to embrace the opportunity and rise to these new challenges.This session will focus on how the manufacturing sector can
                      capitalise on new technologies and opportunities in a volatile energy market to empower a bright future. By developing a
                      sound energy strategy and embracing sustainable and collaborative approaches to energy solutions our industries can achieve
                      independence from the market, control costs and build more resilient business.

                      POWER PURCHASED AGREEMENTS

                      Facilitator: Sam Staples, Market Development Manager, Australian Energy Storage Alliance

                      Brett Wiskar, Chief Future Officer, Wiley

                      How can industry secure their own sustainable and reliable energy future? Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs),
                      which establish fixed energy pricing from renewable resources, may be the answer. An expert panel representing the
                      innovators, brokers, government, industry and energy providers will discuss the drivers behind commercial PPAs, how to
                      navigate the legal process, the potential benefits and risks.

                      Michael Grima, Director, qDesign Enterprises                        Bas Schilders, Principal Consultant, Fuzzy Log X

                      Michael will share the challenges FMCG brands have in               This session will showcase innovation and trends in

                      packaging realm – that challenge your own business model to
                      attain a circular ethos.

 14.30 - 15.20        CLOSING KEYNOTE: STRENGTH THROUGH DIVERSITY
                      Dr Katie Spearritt, CEO, Diversity Partners

                      Diversity and inclusion are increasingly recognised as mainstream business issues, prioritised by Boards and CEO’s in leading
                      companies in Australia. That’s because research shows innovation, better decision-making, and higher productivity comes
                      from well-managed teams with a diversity of backgrounds (such as gender and culture) and different thinking approaches.
                      But if the benefits of diversity are so obvious, why don’t we see more in Australian companies, and the packaging industry
                      in particular? A key barrier is unconscious bias – the automatic stereotypes and assumptions we make about people that
                      influence our behaviour. We all have these biases so ingrained we hardly notice them. Dr Katie Spearritt will explore the
                      importance of diversity and an inclusive work environment for organisations – small, medium or large – in the packaging
                      industry. She’ll share actions we can take to break stereotyped associations that inhibit diversity and innovation.

                Barry McGookin, General Manager of Innovation, Food Innovation Australia

                Innovation and getting an idea to market is not linear. What you chose and pursue is a mix of capabilities, availability, opportunity, vision, appetite
                for risk and your values. Each journey is different but there are some pieces of the idea to market puzzle that everyone has to walk through.

                In addition, while many focus on products and processes there are more places within a business that can be considered for innovation. This short
                session will take you through some simple tools to think about the idea to market journey and where else within your business you might consider
                innovating.
