This new web-based event will feature live chats, product and equipment demonstrations, and educational opportunities. Pack Expo Connects aims to bring together equipment suppliers, product experts, and other industry professionals. "For over six decades, Pack Expo has been here to serve and connect the industry, and while the pan- demic makes it impossible to meet in person this year, connecting the industry is still our top priority," says Jim Pittas, PMMI president and CEO. "PMMI Media Group is putting all of the power of the Pack Expo brand into fostering connec- tions between consumer-packaged goods companies and suppliers by driving the entire industry to Pack Expo Connects." Pack Expo Connects will include daily Jumpstart sessions on hot industry topics as well as the Innovation Stages that have been featured at previous Pack Expo events. A new Solution Room will feature expert-led education sessions, and Daily Download ses- sions will bring attendees up to speed on the solutions on display. Event will also feature a special Packaging and Processing Women's Leadership Network.
