How Appita Kept FVCCON Thriving Through a Pandemic

The Fibre Value Chain Conference (FVCCON) is Appita’s flagship annual event, attracting professionals from the pulp, paper, packaging and bio-products industries across Australia and New Zealand. Since 2017, Lightbox Agency has been responsible for event branding, promotional campaigns, collateral and social media marketing. When the COVID-19 pandemic made in-person events impossible, Appita needed a way to keep the conference tradition alive without compromising the quality of the experience.

The Challenge

Preserving a Flagship Event During Lockdowns

FVCCON alternates between Australia and New Zealand each year and is a cornerstone of Appita’s industry engagement. During the height of COVID-19, in-person events were prohibited, threatening the conference’s continuity. Appita needed to deliver the same level of value, networking and knowledge-sharing in a fully virtual format.

Our Approach

Consistent Branding and a Seamless Virtual Experience

Lightbox Agency designed and executed a strategy to keep the event engaging and accessible:
  • Event Branding: Developed consistent, industry-aligned branding for all promotional and event touchpoints.
  • Promotional Campaigns: Delivered paid and organic social media campaigns to engage the target audience and drive registrations.
  • Event Collateral: Produced digital and print-ready materials, including programs, presentation templates and speaker packs.
  • Virtual Event Facilitation: Transitioned the conference to Zoom, ensuring smooth delivery of all sessions and presentations.
The Outcome

A Conference That Didn’t Miss a Beat

Our support ensured FVCCON’s continued success, even under challenging conditions:
  • Successful Annual Delivery: Managed FVCCON every year since 2017, across both Australia and New Zealand.
  • Maintained Attendance: Preserved strong participation numbers despite the shift to virtual events.
  • Enhanced Engagement: Increased audience interaction and industry visibility through targeted campaigns.
By adapting quickly to the pandemic and maintaining high production standards, Lightbox Agency helped Appita preserve FVCCON’s reputation as a must-attend event and provided a seamless, professional experience for attendees around the globe.
