Advances in the packaging and processing industry can be seen first hand at the co-located Pack Expo Las Vegas and Pharma Expo from 28-30 September.

Over 2000 exhibitors, including the Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA), will display their latest innovations, and visitors will enjoy free industry insights on the show floor.

The Innovation Stage will include sessions on industry breakthroughs every 30 minutes on three stages, and the Centre for Trends and Technology will host industry pioneers who discuss emerging technology to help you get ahead of the competition.

The Food Safety Summit Resource Centre is a place for one-to-one consultations and presentations on critical safety issues, and the Reusables Learning Center talks about how reusable assets can keep costs down. Or you might like to visit Clemson University’s CUshop – a mock store setup displaying the impact of bio-metric technology.

Head to Vegas for PackExpo, and gain some manufacturing insight from Pharma Expo while you're there. It offers three days of educational sessions on manufacturing operations, compliance, and pharmaceutical packaging.

Look out for PKN's report on the show in the November-December issue.
