Why PACK EXPO East? With apologies to bank robber Willie Sutton, because that’s where the attendees are.

“We learned through customer research that we have a great opportunity for both PACK EXPO exhibitors and end user attendees in the North East,” says PMMI’s Jim Pittas, Senior Vice President of Tradeshows. He adds that PACK EXPO East promises to bring world class innovation and insights in packaging and processing for many markets, including the pharmaceutical, medical device, baking and snack, beverage, food, and personal care sectors.

“Whether your market is confectionery, baking/snack, pharmaceutical and medical devices, food, beverage, electronics, or something else, PACK EXPO East will bring an exclusive focus on processing and packaging technologies, top-tier exhibitors, and a customer-centric approach to operational needs,” says Pittas. “It’s everything you expect in a PACK EXPO show, located within 200 miles of a third of the nation’s major consumer goods companies.”

To underscore how fundamentally regional in nature most exhibitions are, Pittas points out that at this past PACK EXPO International in Chicago, only 8% of the end user attendees came from the states of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. “That’s why we think this show in Philadelphia will open up a wealth of possibilities to packaging and processing professionals on the East Coast,” says Pittas.

Featuring a broad mix of technologies as it does, PACK EXPO East combines convenient and much-needed access with advanced, whole-line solutions. The show will also offer regional attendees an exclusive opportunity to cross-pollinate ideas among industries. Attendees will find the educational opportunities they have come to expect from PACK EXPO shows, including Innovation Stage sessions, on-floor education at exhibitor booths, and activities in conjunction with packaging and processing educators.

“Philadelphia is an accessible and affordable destination for manufacturing professionals on the East Coast,” Pittas continues. “By hosting a PACK EXPO event here, we’re creating an opportunity for manufacturers to bring more team members to the show. It means they can explore innovations on the line and new solutions that they’ve never considered before.”
