PMMI’s PACK EXPO Las Vegas Celebrates 30 Years Of Innovation PACK EXPO Las Vegas, one of North America’s most com- prehensive packaging and processing events is celebrat- ing a milestone: 2025 marks 30 years since the show’s debut. Set for September 29 to October 1 this year, PACK EXPO Las Vegas continues to be a global hub for industry innovation and collaboration. Show producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, has elevated PACK EXPO Las Vegas from a regional trade show to a global indus- try force — expanding its scale, influence, and relevance across international markets. This year, the show will span over 1 million net square feet, feature 2,300 exhibitors, and expects to attract 35,000 attendees from more than 40 vertical markets. “PACK EXPO Las Vegas has always been more than a trade show — it’s where the future of packaging and pro- cessing takes shape,” says Jim Pittas, President, PMMI. “For 30 years, we’ve been proud to drive innovation, fos- ter collaboration, and spotlight the technologies shaping tomorrow’s supply chains. As we look ahead, we remain focused on the forces transforming our industry: automa- tion, AI, sustainability, and workforce development.” Since its launch in 1995, each show edition has intro- duced cutting-edge technologies, from the early automa- tion solutions to today’s advances in AI, robotics, and sus- tainable packaging solutions. PACK EXPO Las Vegas has been at the forefront of innovations over the past 30 years and continues to evolve like the industry it serves. PMMI will honor the PMMI Member Companies that were part of the inaugural 1995 show and continue to ex- hibit today by highlighting each company with a special PMMI legacy member exhibitor placard in their booths. Beyond the exhibits, PACK EXPO Las Vegas offers more than 100 free educational sessions on the show floor and eight specialty pavilions covering healthcare, confec- tionery, containers and materials, processing, logistics, ed- ucation and workforce development, industry association partners, and reusable packaging. “As the industry accelerates toward smarter, more sus- tainable operations, PACK EXPO Las Vegas remains the one place where it all comes together — technology, in- sight, and community. This year’s show reflects the mo- mentum we’re seeing across the market, with record par- ticipation and unmatched opportunities to learn, connect, and grow,” says Laura Thompson, Vice President, Trade Shows, PMMI. The Packaging & Processing Women’s Leadership Net- work Breakfast is for anyone who seeks to connect with like-minded professionals and supports the advancement of women in the industry. Future leaders in packaging can connect with their peers and other industry trailblazers at the Young Professionals Networking Reception at the Cove Bar & Arcade. Register at packexpolasvegas.com .
