A Message to the PACK EXPO Community

Amidst all the uncertainty in the world today, one thing is certain: PACK EXPO International and Healthcare Packaging EXPO will happen this year, either as a physical event with a virtual component, or an entirely virtual event for those who wish to participate.

Connecting the industry has never been more crucial as packaging addresses the critical needs of this pandemic, and we will make sure that happens. For over six decades, PACK EXPO has been here to serve and connect the industry, and this year is no exception.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the PMMI Trade Show Department by email at expo@pmmi.org or by phone at 571.612.3200.

Innovation Stage – Submit Your Abstract for a Live and Virtual Speaking Opportunity

We are accepting abstracts from exhibitors who are interested in presenting on the Innovation Stage. New this year – we are recording all sessions and the Innovation Stages will continue to inform and educate audiences both live and virtually. The first review period deadline is this Friday, July 10.

The Innovation Stage will be comprised of 30-minute, seminar-based sessions designed to showcase recent industry breakthroughs, success stories, and best practices, all in one convenient location on the show floor. Establish yourself as an industry leader and expert by presenting on this stage and benefit from the new connections made with the attendees at your session!

The cost for each accepted presentation is $3,795. Please note that these presentations are intended to provide insights on the future of packaging and not a sales pitch. There will be two review periods for submitted abstracts; only one abstract per exhibiting company will be considered during each of the two review periods. The review period deadlines are as listed below:

• First review period ends: July 10, 2020
• Second and final review period ends: August 7, 2020

If you have any questions about submitting an abstract for the Innovation Stage, please contact Jessie Brown at jbrown@pmmi.org.
