PACK EXPO Connects

EVENT OVERVIEW

PACK EXPO Connects is a virtual event that occurred at the height of COVID and served as a replacement for PACK EXPO International which had been scheduled to take place at McCormick Place in Chicago.

PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies which represents more than 900 North American manufacturers and suppliers to the packaging and processing industry, is the organizer of PACK EXPO. The annual trade show alternates between Chicago (PACK EXPO International) and Las Vegas (PACK EXPO Las Vegas) and brings manufacturers of packaging design and automation solutions together with Consumer Goods Companies (CPGs) to help them adapt to consumer changes and demand in the market.

The shift from a live to a virtual event occurred three months prior to show dates.
