PMMI(www.pmmi.org), owner and producer
of the PACK EXPO trade shows, announces that PACK EXPO
International 2012 (October 28-31; McCormick Place, Chicago), has sold out of
exhibit space.
“The sold
out status of PACK EXPO speaks volumes to its value as a showcase for the
packaging and processing industries,” says Charles D. Yuska, president &
CEO, PMMI. “With space completely gone three months out, the show has surpassed
even our expectations.”
PACK EXPO
International 2012 will be the largest edition of the show since 2002, with a
record 1,800 plus exhibitors showing off the latest in packaging and processing
innovation across more than 1.1 million net square feet of exhibit space.
With all of
the packaging and processing technology on display, the customer-centric focus
of the show will ensure attendees can make the most of their time on the show
floor.
“With new
and returning industry pavilions and lounges, partnerships with innovators like
Material ConneXions and Mintel, and industry expertise across the show floor
and in the conference halls, PACK EXPO International 2012 will be an event that
highlights all the best these industries have to offer,” Yuska adds.
In addition
to lounges dedicated to the beverage, baking and snack, confectionery and
pharmaceutical industries, the show will feature expertise from the National
Confectioners Association (NCA), the Association of Independent Corrugated
Converters (AICC), the International Society of Beverage Technologists (ISBT),
and several chapters of the International Society for Pharmaceutical
Engineering (ISPE).
PACK EXPO
2012 will also see the return of the PACK EXPO Lecture Series, with comedian
and pundit Dennis Miller and commentator James Carville taking the stage on
Sunday, Oct. 28.
“The
discussion between Carville and Miller promises to be not only engaging and
entertaining, but particularly relevant in this election year,” Yuska says.
“We’re looking forward to a great event.”
