PACK EXPO’s annual event PACK gives BACK, returns to PACK EXPO International (Oct. 23-26; McCormick Place, Chicago) bigger and better than ever! For the first time in its Chicago history, the event will be a musical performance, with headlining band STYX taking center stage at McCormick Place, according to show producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies. Rockwell Automation returns as title sponsor and proceeds will benefit the PMMI Foundation.

Since its inception, PACK gives BACK has become a staple at both PACK EXPO Las Vegas and PACK EXPO International events, with the goal of advancing the future of the packaging and processing industry by providing scholarships to the next generation of professionals.

“PMMI is proud to be able to continue nurturing the future of the packaging and processing industry in conjunction with Rockwell,” says Jim Pittas, president and CEO, PMMI. “We are grateful for their support which enables us to invest in the next generation with generous scholarship opportunities.”

PACK EXPO International also offers multiple programs and activities aimed at getting students excited about careers in packaging and processing and connecting them with professional mentors in the industry. In addition to exciting networking events and student programs, the highlight of PACK EXPO International will be the new, never-before seen solutions, from thousands of leading suppliers on the show floor, bringing all vertical industries together to generate a cross-pollination of ideas and crossover solutions that can only be discovered in-person.
