With an anticipated attendance of more than 46,000, PACK EXPO International 2012 will run October 28-31, 2012 at McCormick Place in Chicago. The show has signed 1,400 exhibitors to date and will occupy more than 1 million sq. ft of floor space. The tradeshow and conference includes both processing and packaging, and typically one-half of visitors are from the food and beverage industries.
The exhibit floor, spread out over McCormick’s North, South and Lakeside halls, will again feature key areas of interest. The Brand Zone showcases containers and materials to build front-running brands; a prominent feature is the Showcase of Packaging Innovations, which spotlights award-winning international designs and includes the 7th Annual PACK EXPO Selects—the most innovative packaging projects from PACK EXPO exhibitors.
