Excerpt:
TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF?
I have been working on events in Africa for over 10 years now and have really enjoyed the opportunities to travel extensively across the continent. With the events we have been running in Nigeria, it always amazes me how much changes I see every time I go back; from new developments to restaurants to beach clubs! No doubt, Lagos is a very busy city, so also is Accra where I frequent more now. I have regular trips to Accra and other parts of Ghana over the last couple of years in setting up and launching PROPAK Ghana as a welcome alternative.
TELL US ABOUT PROPAK GHANA?
PROPAK Ghana is the leading exhibition for the packaging, processing, print and plastics industries in Ghana which was launched in June last year. It provides a platform for people from across the value chain to come together, learn about the latest products and services on the global market and hear from industry leaders on what to look out for in the year ahead. With over 2,500 visitors expected from not just Ghana, but its neighbouring countries including Benin, Togo and Cote d’Ivoire; we are excited to be back in Accra this year from 23 to 25 April 2024.
WHO IS IT FOR?
The exhibition is targeted at people from across the packaging, printing and processing industries; whether you are a manufacturer, distributor, retailer or technician, there will certainly be something for you at PROPAK Ghana. We have over 120 companies showcasing their products including A.M.R.P Handels, Dalgakiran Kompressors, Emirates Printing Press, Everpack, Jay Kay Global, Kaak Food Processing, Piovan Group and Snetor West Africa to name just a handful; all of whom are looking to build and expand their footprint in the region and meet with key stakeholders.
WHAT ELSE TO LOOK FORWARD TO?
Alongside the exhibition, there will be three full days of seminars and workshops focusing on packaging, sustainability, and printing. These will include
Ghana and other industry leaders sharing their experience as well as practical sessions on how to build competitiveness in the export market.FINAL THOUGHT:
As I said before, we are really excited to be heading back to Accra for year two. We learnt a lot from the launch event and we have been able to channel those learnings into plans for this year’s event. As the industry continues to support the exhibition, we are able to give back by providing the platform that best serves it. I look forward to seeing you all there!
