Meat+Poultry - September 2022 - 58

SHOW PREVIEW
Pack Expo International
brings together the
packaging and processing
industries to connect and
share modern technologies,
education, expertise and
targeted business solutions.
THAT'S LOGISTICS
Logistics is among the top 5 searches on the
Pack Expo website; a new pavilion will take
the topic from the search bar to the show floor.
Located in the North Building of
McCormick Place, the new Logistics Pavilion
at Pack Expo International will focus on
the product journey from manufacturer
to consumer. PMMI said attendees will
find targeted solutions related to supply
chain elements - warehousing, fulfillment,
distribution logistics services and
transportation providers.
FAMILIAR FAVORITES
Several pavilions are returning to Pack Expo
International for 2022.
The Package Printing Pavilion in the South
Building of McCormick Place features digital
printing and converting, labeling, coding and
marking technologies.
The Containers and Materials Pavilion is
the place to learn more about how the industry
is responding to trends such as sustainability,
recyclability, e-commerce and consumer
convenience. Located in the West Building, it is
a destination for companies looking to refresh
a brand, launch new products, broaden appeal
and attract attention, according to PMMI.
The Reusable Packaging Pavilion highlights
sustainable packaging solutions to help
reduce waste, cut costs and gain supply chain
efficiency. Attendees can explore reusable
transport packaging products and services and
see innovative reuse solutions from more than
30 exhibitors. Reusable Packaging Pavilion
will be in the Upper Lakeside area at booths
LU6700 - LU6999.
It's difficult enough to find new workers;
continuing education is an effective strategy

for employers who want to keep valuable
team members. The PMMI U Workforce
Development Pavilion, located in the West Hall
Concourse, is a one-stop-shop for resources
to strengthen and grow an existing workforce.
Schools will present mechatronics, packaging
and processing offerings, and attendees
can meet students interested in careers in
the industry.
Finally, the Association Partner Pavilion is
for leading associations dedicated to advancing
the packaging and processing industry, offering
significant resources, insights and expertise all
in one central location within the North Hall at
booths N4510 - N5101.
CONNECTIONS COUNT
Another returning event is the Packaging &
Processing Women's Leadership Network
(PPWLN) Networking Event.
The PPWLN's mission is to recruit, retain and
advance women's careers in packaging and
processing. Each Pack Expo, the PPWLN hosts
a networking event addressing a timely issue
facing women in the industry.
The annual Packaging & Processing
Women's Leadership Network (PPWLN)
breakfast at Pack Expo International will take
place on Tuesday, Oct. 25, 7:30-9:00 a.m., in
Room, S-100 at McCormick Place. The keynote
speaker this year is Dawn Hudson, former
chief marketing officer at the National Football
League and former president and chief
executive officer of Pepsi Cola North America.
Hudson has cultivated an impressive career
spanning high-level posts in media, retail,
consumer goods, consulting, and health care at
some of the biggest corporations in the world,
PMMI said.
