More conferences for EastPack

Several groups are planning conference sessions during EastPack in Philadelphia. Some are planned for Monday, the day before the show opens on Tuesday, May 23.

Later this month, packagers attending EastPack, May 23 to 25 in Philadelphia, will be able to fill out their schedules by attending one or more conferences and seminars, sponsored by several associations that serve a variety of industries. Descriptions of these sessions were unavailable when Packaging World went to press with preview coverage of the show (see April ’00, p. 50). Because time before EastPack is short, we’ve included phone numbers for the organizations sponsoring the sessions.

On Monday, May 22, the day before the EastPack exhibition opens, the National Food Processors Assn. (phone: 202/639-5900) is sponsoring a session on 21st century processing and packaging technologies. On the same day, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (phone: 800/733-4763) holds a morning session on Systems integration and an afternoon conference on Fundamentals of performance packaging. Also on Monday morning, San José State University (phone: 408/924-3210) will hold a full-day conference on Packaging sales and purchasing.
