Innovation Stage, the Food Safety Summit Resource Center, The Reusables Learning Center, The Center for Trends and Technologies—they all mean the same thing: Education on the show floor at PACK EXPO International and the co-located Pharma EXPO (Nov. 2–5, 2014; McCormick Place, Chicago). And they’re just a few of the on-the-floor venues for education at the most comprehensive packaging and processing event on this side of the Atlantic.
“Today’s manufacturing industries are more competitive, more globalized and more heavily regulated than ever. Knowing what’s around the corner is critical, not only for the success of these companies, but also for their survival,” says Maria Ferrante, vice president, Education & Workforce Development, PMMI. PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, is the owner and producer of PACK EXPO International. “This is why PMMI has made a point of bringing education to the show floor. It keeps attendees learning—from the leading innovations they’re seeing around them as well as from the experts presenting sessions throughout the exhibit halls.”
