Attendee registration for pack expo east 2020 (March 3-5, 2020; Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia) is officially open, according to show producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.
Now in its fourth edition, the three-day event will feature 400 exhibiting companies and span 100,000 net sq ft, providing the opportunity for attendees to exchange ideas with 7,000 peers. The location in Philadelphia presents a unique opportunity.

In the center of the action, the Innovation Stage will present ample opportunity for professional enrichment during 30-minute seminars throughout each day.
The Forum takes a collaborative approach to learning. It will feature 45-minute open sessions on the latest industry trends by thought leaders from the OpX Leadership Network, Institute of Packaging Professionals, Contract Packagers Association and PMMI Business Intelligence. Each session includes small group discussions and Q&A sessions.
