Fall is here and with it comes the biggest tradeshow in our industry: PACK EXPO. This year the show is in Las Vegas, which means cool technology, warm nights and plenty of excitement at the show and on the strip. PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015 will feature over 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space filled with 30,000 registered attendees and technologies in action from over 2,000 exhibitors. The 20th anniversary edition of PACK EXPO Las Vegas, projects as the show’s largest edition yet, reports show owner and producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.
In 1995, PMMI introduced the industry to PACK EXPO West, where exhibit space was about 200,000 net square feet — about 25% of this year’s event. Along with the size, the international flavor of the show has grown, with visitors from outside the United States making up 8.3% of the attendee base in 1995 and 18% at the most recent edition, in 2013.
