In the packaging space, 2010 offers plenty of opportunities to do more than just “something.” A host of events this year will showcase packaging machinery and materials. Investing in these trade shows as an exhibitor or attendee will allow professionals to support the packaging function, learn about the latest technologies, and buy products geared at improving your packaging operations. Virtually all of these activities help contribute to the global economy. As always, it takes money to make money.

Some key upcoming packaging shows include the following:

• West Pack, Feb. 9 – 11, Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, CA.

• HealthPack 2010, March 2 -4, The Sheraton Gunter, San Antonio, TX.

• Interphex NY 2010, April 20 – 22, Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, NY.

• Healthcare Packaging Conference & Workshops, May 27, Hyatt Regency Princeton, NJ.

• EastPack 2010, June 7-10, Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, NY.

• Pack Expo International 2010, Oct. 31 – Nov. 3, McCormick Place, Chicago, IL.
