PMMI Poll: Industry Ready For Safe Return Of In-Person Trade Shows After more than a year away from in-person trade shows, nearly nine out of 10 packaging and processing end-us- ers say in-person trade shows are essential for networking and discovering what is new in the industry, revealed a recent poll from PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies. With respondents citing in-person trade shows as the most critical resource when choosing equipment, the up- coming PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packag- ing EXPO, being held September 27-29, at the Las Vegas Convention Center is poised to be an opportunity to con- nect with the industry and explore technology in action. “This survey confirmed our belief that the industry rel- ishes the unique opportunity to conduct business and see equipment in-person, with many noting that trade shows reveal solutions they were not considering before discov- ering them live,” said Laura Thompson, PMMI vice presi- dent, trade shows. One survey respondent said that nothing could replace “being able to see and touch equipment while asking questions and receiving immediate feedback.” Another cited that the diverse array of exhibitors and education found at in-person events “make it a one-stop-shop for in- vestigating multiple solutions” for current projects as well as potential ideas on the horizon. With its PACK Ready health and safety program, PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packaging EXPO will reunite the packaging and processing community, imple- menting thorough and up-to-date protocols for a safe and successful in-person event.
