The International Society of Beverage Technologists (ISBT) once again puts its stamp of approval on The Beverage Cooler Lounge (Booth S-7429) at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas; Sept. 28–30), according to show owner PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.

Located on the show floor, The Beverage Cooler Lounge is where beverage industry professionals can network and gain access to solutions from ISBT subject matter experts.

“This is the fourth time we’ve provided resources at The Beverage Cooler Lounge,” says Larry Hobbs, executive director of ISBT. “We know the value it provides our members and other beverage industry professionals. Having a dedicated space on the show floor where they can network and learn the latest trends in the marketplace allows them to make the most of their PACK EXPO experience.”

“We’re very pleased ISBT is hosting The Beverage Cooler Lounge again. One of PMMI’s missions is to convene the industry, and The Beverage Cooler Lounge at PACK EXPO Las Vegas allows us to do that for beverage industry professionals. The lounge provides them a hub to not only network, but to speak with experts face-to-face to devise solutions for any problems they may have,” says Charles D. Yuska, president & CEO, PMMI.

PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015 is co-located with Pharma EXPO 2015, a joint venture from PMMI and the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE). The two shows have over 800,000 net square feet of combined exhibit space and are expected to attract 30,000 packaging and processing professionals and more than 2,000 exhibiting companies.

Registration is $30 through Sept. 14, when it increases to $100. Register for PACK EXPO and Pharma EXPO at www.packexpolasvegas.com.
