Engage, the Contract Packaging and Manufacturing Experience

Mark your calendars now for CPA’s newly reorganized annual event: Engage, the Contract Packaging and Manufacturing Experience. This improved event is being held March 1-3, 2022, in Clearwater Beach, Florida. It will be the largest networking experience for the Contract Packaging and Contract Manufacturing industry, its customers, and suppliers. This is where the industry meets!

The in-person meeting will be held at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa in Florida, with over 200 attendees expected. Plan to join us for the full meeting, connecting with existing partners and networking with new potential prospects.

Registration opens on October 15 with a working agenda covering a CPG/Brand panel discussion, global economic trends, workforce regulation updates, outlook of packaging trends, cyber security, and much more.

SNAXPO 2021

SNAXPO 2021 was a success and a great place for the CPA to get re-settled into the trade show world after the 18 month pause caused by the pandemic. With approximately 50 leads looking to do business with CP/CMs, the CPA is always promoting their member’s capabilities and trying to bridge the gap for those looking for their services.

Following SNAXPO, the CPA attended Natural Products Expo East (NPEE) in Philadelphia, PA. CPA was very pleased with the attendance and energy from exhibitors and attendees alike. Approximately 130 leads looking to do business with CP/CMs were collected and the membership and their capabilities were fully promoted and displayed. 

PACK EXPO Las Vegas

Finally, directly after NPEE 21, the CPA was at PACK EXPO Las Vegas (PELV) for the biggest packaging and processing show of the year! The turn out was amazing and it truly felt like the industry was dying to get together again. Leads are still being calculated, but they are estimated to be well over 200!

The CPA Sourcing Center was proud to fill 5 towers with member’s product displaying their offerings and capabilities, and the Meet & Greet event was a booming success with well over the predicted number of attendees joining us. Another big thank you to our Meet & Greet as well as our Annual sponsors!
