careers look like and where they can fit in the industry.” An Interactive Learning Experience At the expo, ICPF and the PMMI Foundation, the chari- table arm of PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Pro- cessing Technologies, will share exhibit space at PMMI’s Booth #857.

SkillsUSA National Leadership & Skills Conference One of the ways that effort is taking shape this year is through partnership and presence at the upcoming Skill- sUSA National Leadership & Skills Conference (NLSC) in Atlanta, Georgia from June 1-5, 2026. ICPF will join PMMI at the SkillsUSA NLSC, one of the largest gatherings of career and technical education (CTE) students in the country. The event draws more than 19,000 attendees annually, including over 6,500 student compet- itors across 114 skilled and leadership disciplines. For or- ganizations focused on workforce development, it offers something increasingly difficult to replicate elsewhere: a concentrated, national audience of students already en- gaged in hands-on, skills-based learning. ICPF’s role includes serving as a Silver Sponsor of Skill- sUSA, supporting national programming while deepening its engagement with the organization’s network of more than 444,000 students and educators. The partnership also includes workforce engagement initiatives, from a na- tional communications effort to a speaker series designed to bring industry professionals directly into classrooms. “Opportunities like SkillsUSA National Leadership & Skills Conference allow us to expand awareness of ca- reers in our industry while also creating opportunities for direct engagement,” said Caitlin Salaverria, president of ICPF. “It’s about helping students understand what these
equipment, processes, and career pathways, presented in a way that’s tangible and immediate. As part of the conference experience, both ICPF and the PMMI Foundation will participate in the SkillsUSA scavenger hunt, an interactive, digital experience that en- courages students to explore the show floor, visit exhibitor booths, and engage with industry representatives.
