As reported in the last issue, we have no plans to slow down in 2022, in fact just the opposite.

With the success of CPA’s ENGAGE–The Contract Packaging and Manufacturing Experience, we are already planning the next event on the River Walk in San Antonio, TX, taking place February 21-23, 2023. CPA’s ENGAGE event is where the industry meets and collaborates. Significant network-ing and exhibition opportunities await you! Be sure to mark your calendar.

As a reminder, this Fall you can connect with us at:

  • Natural Products Expo East, September 28 – October 1 in Philadelphia,
  • PA.PACK EXPO International, October 23 – 26 in Chicago, IL.
  • PLMA, November 13 in Rosemont, IL.

These events give us a chance to promote the industry and our members. No matter the show, our CPA Sourcing Center is always a popular location onsite.

While most of our programs are focused on the national level, we are pleased to inform you of a regional program providing further benefits for our members.

We have joined the Chicagoland Food & Beverage Network (chicagolandfood.org). The Chicagoland’s Food and Beverage industry is the second largest in the nation. Approximately 4,500 firms make up the cluster, accounting for 130,000 employees and $32 billion in sales. The Chicagoland Food & Beverage Network recognizes the importance of the entire food and beverage sup-ply chain from farm to fork, focusing on the food and beverage companies plus their essential key suppliers. This includes dozens of business types making a wide range of food products. In addition, the Network includes suppliers of packaging materials, equipment, machinery, transportation services, and the full range consulting and support services that are critical to supporting food and beverage companies bringing their products to the marketplace.
