Amid the clamor of shows in the West, MIDPAK '97 quietly emerges as the sole packaging exhibition in the Midwest. And this year it wears its regional colors proudly, anticipating close to 6ꯠ attendees. MidMed, the medical packaging show held within MIDPAK, is said to have been "created to recognize the growing impact of the medical manufacturing challenges in the packaging industry in the Midwest," according to show management firm Minnesota Events (Plymouth, MN). Co-sponsored by the Minnesota Chapter of the Institute of Packaging Professionals (Plymouth, MN), the exhibition takes place Tuesday, October 21 and 22 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The MIDPAK Packaging Conference is planned for the same two days. A $99 registration covers both the seminar and exposition. Robert Esse, Esse Technologies (Monticello, MN) chairs the conferences.
