2013 ICE USA to host more than 300 exhibitors

With a few weeks to go before the 2013 ICE (International Converting Exhibition) USA in Orlando, Florida, April 9-11, show management has announced more than 300 companies from around the world have reserved space, doubling the pace of the last show.

This makes the biennial event more than 33% larger than the 2011 ICE USA and the largest dedicated converting show held in North America.  These figures include over 100 companies that are first-time exhibitors. Bob Chiricosta, Show Director, said ICE USA is a machinery-led event with more than one third of the exhibitors featuring running machinery and providing working demonstrations.

ICE USA show management said that several exhibitors will be showcasing web inspection equipment and five companies are speaking on the topic as part of the Conference Program. “This may be the largest collection of web inspection companies exhibiting in the USA in many years,” Chiricosta predicted.

“The attendees at all of our ICE events around the world constantly stress how much they want to see running equipment at trade shows,” Chiricosta emphasized. He added that attendee registration is running at twice the level of the 2011 ICE USA compared to the same period in time.  “With a record number of exhibitors and attendee registration running well ahead of 2011, we are expecting a great Show.”

ICE USA is part of the ICE family of worldwide converting events.
