Over 2,000 exhibitors at PACK EXPO Las Vegas

PMMI, owner and producer of PACK EXPO Las Vegas expects more than 2,000 exhibitors and 30,000 visitors at this year’s event to be held from 28 to 30 September at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Participants represent more than 40 vertical markets.

Adding to the size of the event is the Pharma EXPO which showcases the latest supply chain solutions for the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, nutraceutical and medical device industries. It is produced by PMMI and the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE).

“PACK EXPO shows have evolved alongside the needs of attendees and exhibitors, and we’ve come a long way from where we started,” says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO, PMMI. “Today, PACK EXPO trade shows are always the year’s most comprehensive events for packaging innovation. In the case of PACK EXPO Las Vegas, it’s been a quick jump from regional show to expansive, must-attend event.”

Brian Barr, packaging systems sales manager at Heat and Control (Booth C-3627), one of the first exhibitors of PACK EXPO says, “PACK EXPO has evolved to serve the broad needs of a diverse market that has packaging as its nucleus. From equipment for food processing, to conveying, packaging, and inspection, this show provides a single forum for presenting and discussing solutions. As a full-service supplier, we need a full-service trade show where our customers can discuss a range of projects at a single location. PACK EXPO is that single source where we can communicate all our products and services to our customers.”

Educational and networking offerings at PACK EXPO are based on the current needs of manufacturers. The signature Innovation Stage will occupy three stages on the PACK EXPO show floor (Booths C-1041, C-1045 and C-1049) and a fourth in Pharma EXPO (Booth N–559), all with free, top-tier 30-minute educational sessions running concurrently throughout each day of the show. Pharma EXPO will also feature a world-class conference program curated by ISPE.

The show design is also visitor-friendly since it has industry-specific lounges and specialized pavilions like The Brand Zone. It provides quick access to the latest developments in specific market niches.

The Food Safety Summit Resource Center (Booth S-7632) brought to participants by the Food Safety Summit, and the Center for Trends and Technology: Improving Production Through Innovation (Booth C-4829), sponsored by Rockwell Automation and its PartnerNetwork™ Program, focus on educating attendees in crucial technologies by offering seminars and one-on-one conversations with leading subject matter experts.

“Over the years, we’ve added features and events, but one thing hasn’t changed,” Mr Yuska says. “PACK EXPO Las Vegas is a venue where industry professionals come together, do business and find the solutions they need for operational excellence.” For more information and to register, visit packexpolasvegas.com.
