Attendee registration for PACK EXPO East 2022 (March 21-23; Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia) is of- ficially open, according to the show producer, PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies. Now in its fifth edition, the three-day event comes on the heels of a successful PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packaging EXPO, the largest packaging and processing trade show in North America in 2021. PACK EXPO East returns to Philadelphia after a record-breaking 2020 that featured 7,100-plus attendees and its largest show floor to date. Its Northeast location provides a convenient and re- warding opportunity for consumer-packaged goods (CPG) and life sciences companies to explore packaging and processing technologies from 40+ vertical markets, con- nect with suppliers and find the solutions needed to adapt and compete in a changing marketplace. “Attendees are sure to find a multitude of solutions in one easily accessible location with so much to see and do in the larger Philly area too; that’s what makes this show so unique,” said Laura Thompson, VP Trade Shows, PMMI. Featuring 400 exhibitors, attendees get the best of both worlds—the ability to see a comprehensive range of packaging and processing technologies yet still have time for productive, in-depth discussions with vendors to solve pain points and address challenges. PACK EXPO East also offers a myriad of free educa- tional sessions all conveniently located on the show floor along with extensive networking opportunities. With its convenient location, PACK EXPO East is a great opportuni- ty for entire project teams to make a day trip and discover the latest technologies and innovative crossover solutions to support capital investment decisions. No other show on the East Coast offers such a wide range of state-of-the-art packaging and processing solutions. Visit packexpoeast.com for more information.
