Best of Connects: Our Editors' Favorite Innovations

Available for only two more weeks, here are short clips from our editors discussing their personal picks from last Fall's PACK EXPO Connects. Make plans to be back live in Vegas this September.

Daily Download

Our editors have seen it all.  Dozens of shows, hundreds of plant tours.  So what turns their heads at a show?

We asked the team to record short videos of the exhibits that caught their eye last Fall during PACK EXPO Connects.  No, they did not walk the aisles, but they attended both live and pre-recorded demos, Innovation Stages, Trend Chats and our own TV Show, Jumpstart.

At the end of each day of the virtual show, we elected a pair of writers to download the best of Connects - real innovation from exhibitors.   We offer these insightful observations one last time before we take down more than 60 hours of educational material at the end of this month (March 31). Our team could not catch it all.  But we will be walking the aisles again for PACK EXPO Las Vegas September 27-29, 2021

SEE  IT ALL ONE LAST TIME Sixty hours of educational sessions from sustainability to cannabis.  Amazon and e-commerce, remote access and workforce development.

Now for the editorial team's head-turning picks...
