Welcome to PACK EXPO Connects 2020!
On behalf of the entire PMMI and PMMI Media Group Team, we’d like to welcome you and your colleagues to PACK EXPO Connects. We hope you’re as excited as we are to launch this live, web-based event!
Due to overwhelming demand, we have extended exhibitor hours:
- Monday-Thursday | 10 am – 3pm CT
- Friday | 10 am – 1 pm CT
We have also added international demo hours. Reach your international customers in Europe and Asia by conducting a demo in local time. You will see these demo slots available in the demo scheduling tool as 4:00am Central Time (10:00am Greenwich Mean Time) and 9:00pm Central Time (10:00am China Standard Time)
BOOK YOUR LIVE DEMOS! Time slots are limited, be sure to schedule your live demos while prime inventory remains.
You will receive this weekly Exhibitor Update email to assist with your planning and remind you of important deadlines. To ensure your brand gets the exposure it deserves, we want you to be aware of some key deadlines to keep you on track.
Printed Live Demo Planner – Make sure you have reserved your live demo time slot(s) and finalize the title(s) and descriptions ASAP to be included in our print edition of the Live Demo Planner. Any content you have written and submitted for your demos will be published in print (so be sure the information is complete and accurate). Any changes made after Sept. 2, 2020 will not appear in the printed planner.
Attendee Registration Opens – Ensure attendees can view your completed Showroom when they register on September 15. This will allow them to browse all of your featured product/machinery images and video, live demo time slots, contact information for your Showroom personnel and ultimately add your company to their MyConnects Planner.
We just launched the PACK EXPO Connects Exhibitor Success Center to help you as you plan, build and promote your Showroom.
Drive Traffic to Your Showroom
If you plan to do any external promotion for your Showroom, here are a couple of ways to easily do so:
- PMMI Media Group is creating shortened URL Showroom links so you can promote your Showroom in any print or digital promotion you create. If you have not received your shortened link, please contact expo@pmmi.org.
