PACK EXPO is pivoting nimbly into the virtual tradeshow space with an epic-sounding event. The PACK EXPO portfolio of trade fairs, produced by the PMMI Media Group and PMMI, the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, is now joined by PACK EXPO Connects this Nov. 9-13 — a virtual tradeshow packed (sorry, had to say it) with live-chat sessions, live machinery demos, international hours, PMMI Media editor curation and the latest details and inspection opportunities for craft brewers looking for packaging and processing equipment.
The digital show already has nearly 500 exhibitors, which have apparently already scheduled some 2,200 demos, focused on packaging and processing equipment. For craft brewers that means the chance to inspect the latest equipment and services (canning lines, accumulation tables, depallitizers, labeling tech, air compressors, etc.) from top brands like Pneumatic Scale Angelus, GEA, KHS, PakTech, Sullair and the list goes on right here.
