With about a month until it’s open, current exhibitor numbers position Pack Expo East packaging and processing trade fair (21 to 23 March 2022, Philadelphia) as one of the best ways to see technology in action from over 400 exhibiting companies. Total exhibit space sales are pacing 15 % ahead, with an increase of about 10 % in the number of exhibitors, according to show producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.

The show has surpassed the size of the last two Pack Expo East events in 2018 and 2020, which was held just before the pandemic, and exhibit sales continue their upward trend. Registration is also keeping pace with the 2020 show. Laura Thompson, Vice President, Trade Shows, PMMI, emphasizes: “There is a need to meet face-to-face to find solutions to keep up with demand, and our numbers indicate that the industry is excited to come together and see the latest technologies first-hand.”
