Leading associations also offer a variety of professional development opportunities at Pack Expo. Educational sessions include panel discussions, seminars, technology briefings and full-day conferences on subjects such as safety and security, sustainability, operational reliability, and simulation and modeling techniques to optimize efficiency.
In addition, former Secretary of State and retired General Colin L. Powell will be the keynote speaker at Pack Expo Leadership Lecture during the tradeshow. General Powell’s address, titled “Diplomacy: Persuasion, Trust & Values,” will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 27 at the convention center.
“Colin Powell has made a tremendous impact on the landscape of the global climate, both politically and socially,” said Charles D. Yuska, president & CEO of PMMI. “Now, we are fortunate that he continues to share his insights and lessons of leadership even in his private life.”
Pack Expo Las Vegas alternates years with Pack Expo held at Chicago’s McCormick Place, which will be held Oct. 28-31, 2012. The Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) sponsors these events as well as Expo Pack Mexico, a similar exposition held this past June in Mexico City, Mexico.
