How to make the most of PACK EXPO East 2017

Pfw 3590 Pxe2017 Hi

PACK EXPO East 2017 is just two weeks away (Feb. 27–March 1, 2017; Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia), which means it’s time to download the PACK EXPO East Mobile App. Powered by Pro Mach and available from the App Store or Google Play, the App helps find products, view exhibitor listings, search conference sessions, plan an agenda and serve as a guide for the three-day event.

Produced by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, PACK EXPO East spans nearly 100,000 net square feet and features 400 exhibiting companies. Its location in Philadelphia places the show within 200 miles of one-third of U.S. consumer packaged goods companies (CPGs), including arguably the country’s largest concentration of life science and pharmaceutical industries. The intimacy of a regional event allows attendees and exhibitors to spend quality time understanding each other’s operations and the challenges both sides of the table face.

The Innovation Stage at PACK EXPO East brings free 30-minute education sessions to the show floor for all attendees featuring fresh looks at breakthrough technologies, innovative applications and proven techniques. Learn from industry experts on topics such as One Cable Automation, trends in ERP systems, hygienic conveyors and hear from PMMI’s OpX Leadership Network on best practices focused on baking and delivering effective FATs.
