PACK EXPO Las Vegas Is Back After more than a year of virtual events, the largest in-person and most comprehensive packaging and processing event in North America, PACK EXPO Las Vegas, featuring the return of the Processing Zone, will take place in September.

S THE COVID-19 pandemic’s grip loosens on society, in-person events are coming back, including PACK EXPO Las Vegas, which will take place Sept. 27-29 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Effective June 1, Las Vegas returned to pre-pandemic guidelines, but to keep all attendees and exhibitors safe, updated health and safety protocols that meet current government regulations and industry standards are being put in place. PACK Ready (www. packexpolasvegas.com/packready), PMMI’s commit-
ment to safety, provides a detailed list of protocols implemented by the Las Vegas Convention Center and show management. With more than 1,500 exhibiting companies, PACK EXPO Las Vegas, co-located with Healthcare Packaging EXPO and produced by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, will welcome tens of thousands of people. Through in-booth demonstrations and free educational sessions on the show floor, attendees will not only see technology in action and have the opportunity to talk with suppliers, they also will learn about best practices and industry breakthroughs.
