ISBT Presents Reception at PACK EXPO Las Vegas

The International Society of Beverage Technologists (ISBT) is hosting a reception for the beverage industry at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas; Sept. 28–30), according to show owner PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.

The reception takes place Tuesday, Sept. 29 from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., in The Beverage Cooler Lounge (Booth S-7429), and gives ISBT members and attendees in the beverage industry the opportunity to network, share their experiences at the show and discuss industry challenges and developments.

“Connecting OEMs and CPGs is just one of the goals of PACK EXPO and we're excited to be the networking hub for the beverage industry,” says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO, PMMI.

“The reception is an important part of ISBT's presence at PACK EXPO Las Vegas because it gives everyone a chance to connect beyond the show floor hours, and provides an extension of the show to do valuable networking. We've found this event to be particularly beneficial to those who are new to the industry, as it provides them with time to speak to longtime ISBT members,” says Larry Hobbs, executive director of ISBT.

PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015 is co-located with Pharma EXPO 2015, a joint venture from PMMI and the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE). The two shows have over 800,000 net square feet of combined exhibit space and are expected to attract 30,000 processing and packaging professionals and more than 2,000 exhibiting companies. 

Registration is $30 through Sept. 14, when it increases to $100. Register for PACK EXPO and Pharma EXPO at www.packexpolasvegas.com.
