With less than three months until we convene for PACK EXPO International 2022, it's time to start preparing your shipments for the show. There are two options available for getting your freight to your booth:

Direct-to-Show-Site Shipping

All exhibitors have been assigned a target move in date and time. If shipping directly to show site, plan with your freight carrier to have materials delivered according to your target schedule. Utilize the show-site shipping labels if you elect to ship this way. Be sure to review the important target shipment document.
 

Advanced Warehouse

Advanced warehouse shipping allows exhibitors to ship and store their freight in Chicago prior to the published move-in dates. Shipments will be accepted at the warehouse from September 19 to October 7, 2022. If you elect to ship this way, please use the advanced warehouse shipping labels.  *Fees Apply – See Form for Details.

If you have questions about shipping to the show, email pack.expo@packexposervices.com or call 972.751.9400.

Didn't have a chance to join us for our recent exhibitor webinars? Or perhaps you want to revisit the content? Good news - the on demand recordings are available for you to view according to your schedule!

Register for the remaining Exhibitor Webinars and access on-demand recorded tutorials and webinars at packexpointernational.com/webinars. 

PACK EXPO International exhibitors have reported receiving solicitations from vendors NOT affiliated with PMMI or PACK EXPO - specifically regarding hotel reservations, attendee list sales and advertising in Packaging Industry News, which is published by Source Group.

We would like to remind all exhibitors that the attendee mailing list for PACK EXPO International is only available for rent through PMMI. Any solicitation claiming to have the email list of PACK EXPO International attendees, or attendee lists from any PACK EXPO show, is fraudulent. PMMI does not sell or rent the attendee email list.

The Official Hotel Reservation Office for all PACK EXPO shows is Expovision. PMMI has no affiliation with any other room brokers. 

PMMI Media Group publishes the official Show Daily that is distributed throughout the event to attendees. No other publication is permitted to be distributed on the premises, official shuttle buses, or hotels. 

If you are contacted by a vendor and are unsure of their affiliation with PMMI or PACK EXPO, please email us at expo@pmmi.org.

The early bird discount deadline for Lead Retrieval Solutions is next week on Thursday, August 4. Place and pay for your order to receive maximum savings! To place the order, click the button below and type in your company name or booth number.

Book your hotel room(s) with the official hotel reservation office, Expovision, and enjoy the guaranteed lowest rates and complimentary shuttle service to and from McCormick Place. You'll only be charged the first room night plus tax to secure your reservation, and changes can be made to your reservation through September 23. If you need any assistance, contact Expovision at packexpohotels@expovision.com.

PMMI is assembling a guided media tour at PACK EXPO International that will take a group of reporters around the show floor to visit participating exhibitors and pre-determined show floor destinations in the first-ever TechTours at PACK EXPO. 

The route will include 4-5 brief stops at exhibitors showcasing something new plus highlight must-see show features that are innovative and visually enticing—ideal for photos and videos with the goal of gaining media coverage.  

This is your chance to get in front of the media and showcase your innovations! We encourage you to take advantage of this free promotional opportunity and submit your company's latest solution for consideration. To do so, please email Shana Marais, Sr. PR Manager at  smarais@pmmi.org, the following information:

The deadline for submissions is Friday, August 5. Only 5 products will be accepted, so we recommend submitting as soon as possible. PMMI may contact you prior to the show for use in pre-show promotion as well.

PMMI Media Group is here to make sure attendees know of your solution and where to find you prior to the show. The PACK EXPO International Game Plan and Showcase reach attendees in the weeks leading up to the 2022 event, ensuring buyers plan to visit your booth. Plus, the Show Daily is distributed each morning of the four-day show – ensuring attendees keep your brand top of mind.

You can find the PACK EXPO International media list here. This is not a pre-registered list, rather a compilation of top industry media and outlets that often attend our shows. We encourage exhibitors to reach out and set up interviews, share press conference details etc. You can also find a lot of useful information in the Exhibitor Resource Center. 

Direct any media related questions to Shana Marais, Sr. PR Manager at smarais@pmmi.org.

Reconnect with old friends and make new connections while you enjoy an open bar, great music, and more at Punch Bowl Social.
