ogies designed for 40+ vertical markets, connect with suppliers, and find the solutions needed to adapt and compete in a changing marketplace. With 400 exhibitors, attendees gain the best of both worlds — the ability to see a comprehensive range of packaging and processing technologies while still hav- ing time for productive, in-depth discussions with ven- dors to solve pain points and address challenges. “PACK EXPO East will be one of the most compre- hensive shows on the East Coast in 2024 with solutions available for a variety of markets,” says Laura Thomp- son, VP trade shows, PMMI. PACK EXPO East also offers a myriad of free educa- tional sessions and networking opportunities. Registration is $30 through Feb. 23, $130 thereafter.

AICC, The Independent Packaging As- sociation, announced its support for the Partnership to Protect Workplace Oppor- tunity (PPWO) in opposition to the Depart- ment of Labor’s Proposed new Overtime Rule. PPWO created a grassroots toolkit for AICC members to respond to the over- time proposed rule. The grassroots portal at protectingopportunity.org allows you to send model comments directly to DOL as well as a model letter to your senators and representative in Congress. Also included is a model grassroots alert that can be sent to your members encouraging them to use the grassroots portal. The alert educates your members about the issue with the proposed rule and directs them to the portal to submit their comments and letters. AICC compiled model survey ques- tions, available at aiccbox.org, to gather input from your members on the impact the overtime rule-making will have on their operations and workforce. Users are to modify the survey questions. As a reminder, PPWO will be submit- ting comments as a coalition, and the AICC urges members to sign onto those comments. The more groups and employers send letters and comments, the more the de- partment and congress will be forced to consider the regulated community’s con- cerns.
