The OpX Leadership Network will host three Innovation Stage sessions at PACK EXPO Las Vegas (Sept. 25–27; Las Vegas Convention Center). The group, convened by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, is a catalyst for transformative solutions and best practices to improve operational excellence in today's "do more with less, faster environment." These Innovation Stage sessions will provide show attendees the opportunity to learn from industry leaders at no additional cost.

The first session (Monday, Sept. 25, 11:00 a.m., C-1049), "Approaches for Staying at the Forefront of Safety," highlights how to mitigate the conditional and behavioral risks to worker safety, and provides guidelines for Worker Safety Audits. The second session (Tuesday, Sept. 26, 10:00 a.m., C-1041), "Request for Proposals: Entry Points to Successful Projects," provides best practices and protocols to enable more accurate and effective responses and evaluations. The third session (Wednesday, Sept. 27, 11:00 a.m., C-1041), "Clean-in-Place: Best Practices to Improve Operations," provides practical tools for Clean-in-Place systems and sustaining Clean-in-Place best practices. View the full Innovation Stage schedule here.
