Over 40 industry associations have come together to support PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packaging EXPO (Las Vegas Convention Center, 25–27 September) as part of the Partner Program. These leading packaging and pharma production associations are dedicated to advancing the next generation of industry innovation.
As participants in the program, trade associations serve as an on-site resource for the over 30,000 attendees expected at the co-located event. Many of these partner associations bring a specific vertical market focus and will host pavilions, sponsor networking lounges and produce educational sessions.
“The Association Partner Pavilions at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, and co-located Healthcare Packaging EXPO, bring together leading industry associations with decision makers from the world’s top CPG companies, retailers and pharmaceutical, medical device and nutraceutical manufacturers,” says Charles D Yuska, president and CEO, PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies. “The expertise and industry knowledge provided by partner associations on-site offer an invaluable resource to attendees.”
