CPA Sourcing Center returns to Pack Expo
The 2nd Annual Contract Packaging Association Sourcing Center is returning to Pack Expo 2014! Last year, at the 2013 Pack Expo in Las Vegas, the CPA Sourcing Center overflowed with attendees every day during the expo.

This year, the Sourcing Center will be BIGGER and BETTER than ever! At the 2014 Pack Expo, taking place November 2-5 at McCormick Place in Chicago, CPA members as well as non-member contract packaging companies will be participating as CPA Sourcing Center Sponsors. These companies will highlight their products and/or services at Booth #5801 in high-profile tower displays showing-off examples of their core packaging business capabilities.

More than 45,000 packaging professionals are expected to attend Pack Expo this year, and most will be brand owners from consumer package goods and other sectors. The companies participating as CPA Sourcing Center Sponsors are sure to GET NOTICED!

What sponsors receive for their CPA Sourcing Center sponsorship:
• Prime location, because the CPA Sourcing Center booth is adjacent to the show floor entrance for MAXIMUM EXPOSURE.
• One personalized shelf (16” x 16” x 12”) in a glass tower to display your product sample or image depicting a core competency of your business.
• Tent card display of your company name and type of product, project or service displayed.
• Video clip - Submit a video (up to two minutes in length) and be part of a looping video compilation played continuously on a large-screen monitor in the Sourcing Center booth.
• All CPG Leads collected in the CPA Sourcing Center for the duration of Pack Expo.
• One exhibitor show pass.
• Three customer invitations to the CPA “Meet and Greet Reception” held in the Sourcing Center booth held on late Tuesday afternoon, November 4.
• Time slot to serve as a “Sourcing Center Expert,” to answer questions about your business’ core competency that is on display in the booth.
• Promotion, promotion and more promotion - The CPA Sourcing Center will be heavily promoted by both the Contract Packaging Association and PMMI to attract CPGs and Brand Owners through email campaigns, Internet, Social Media and more!
