HERNDON, VA — Packaging pros will unite once again for Pack Expo East, set for Feb. 17-19 in Philadelphia. Heading into the 10th edition of the regional tradeshow, attendees will get to experience new features in addition to connecting with 500 exhibitors across more than 40 verticals.
“Pack Expo East provides a convenient, high-impact way for packaging and processing professionals to discover solutions, connect with peers and move projects forward,” said Laura Thompson, VP of trade shows for PMMI, the association for packaging and processing technologies. “We’re proud to be introducing exciting new features and expanding education and networking opportunities that will give attendees tools and insights to apply immediately to their operations.
This year, the Containers and Materials Pavilion is making its Pack Expo East debut, offering brand owners, package designers and manufacturers a look at what’s new in paperboard, glass, metal, flexible and resealable packaging.
In partnership with Ben Franklin Technology Partners, PMMI is introducing the Incubator Hub to the regional show. This segment of Pack Expo East will showcase early-stage companies based in Pennsylvania that are putting in the work to tackle key issues in the industry.
