PACK EXPO Las Vegas does it Again!

The PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows continues to rub elbows with North America’s largest exhibitions as PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packaging EXPO 2017 once again rank among Trade Show Executive’s top 100 fastest growing trade shows. 

In addition to landing in the top 100 for both net square feet and number of attendees, 2017 was a record-breaking year for PACK EXPO Las Vegas, owned and produced by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.  With nearly 1,000 more attendees than 2015, close to 30,000 industry professionals found new technologies and insights from 2,000 exhibitors over almost 900,000 net square feet of exhibit space. 

“We are proud of how far this show has come, growing last year to the largest PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packaging EXPO in our history,” says Laura Thompson, senior director of expositions. “It is an honor to annually rank alongside some of the world’s biggest trade shows and we intend to continue being the industry’s leading resource in packaging and processing technologies for many years to come.”
