The Packaging Summit introduces a slightly different look into 2007, its third year. The multifaceted event has adopted the name Packaging Summit Expo and Conference (PSEC). The event will be May 15-17, 2007, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL.

Show organizer Tarsus Group plc has dropped the industry-specific sub-show titles Packaging Services Expo and Packaging Containers & Materials Expo in order to more effectively integrate the show’s various components. However, the Packaging Summit will continue to focus on contract-packaging services and the materials and containers industries. At the 2006 show, contract packagers and materials and containers exhibitors were located in separate halls. This year, they will be combined all under one roof in order to make the show easier to navigate. In addition, conference attendees will have more time to walk the show floor and not miss the conference program.

The Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) will sponsor the PSEC. According to Howard Leary, CCP, IoPP president, the PSEC is the ideal venue where packaging professionals can learn about the central issues influencing packaging today. Attendees will be able to partner with contract packagers and manufacturers, packaging consultants, research firms, package designers and marketing agencies, packaging-testing labs, logistics companies, warehouse and distribution companies, package prototype developers, and quality assurance and compliance specialists.

Jane Chase, CPP, IoPP executive vice president-education, adds that the educational and networking components of the show make it a “must-attend” packaging event. “It’s the perfect setting for keeping up with leading-edge packaging innovation and making valuable, productive connections,” she says.

Attendees of this year’s expo will be able to discuss packaging containers and materials, as well as packaging components, with the exhibitors. The expo is of interest to professionals who manage and influence how products are packaged.
