Pack Expo International 2026

Pack Expo International 2026 is listed for October 18, 2026 in Chicago, Illinois; PMMI events of this scale are typically held at McCormick Place.

McCormick Place can be reached from Chicago’s airports via taxi, ride‑hailing, or train and bus connections, with parking available on‑site; visitors should follow the official venue directions page for up‑to‑date guidance.

Chicago hosts multiple trade shows around the same time, including other industrial and packaging events; checking McCormick Place’s event calendar and city trade fair listings allows visitors to identify additional relevant exhibitions.

Exhibitors span packaging machinery manufacturers, processing equipment, robotics and automation providers, materials suppliers (films, cartons, containers), labeling and coding systems, and logistics and warehousing solutions.

Registration is conducted via the official Pack Expo website, where attendees create an account, select registration type (attendee, exhibitor, etc.), pay any fees, and receive a confirmation email with badge retrieval instructions.

Visitors should plan flights into Chicago O’Hare or Midway, book hotels near McCormick Place or in the Loop/South Loop areas, and allow time for local transport; international attendees need to review U.S. visa requirements and may request invitation letters from the organizer.

The event is designed for professionals but often includes student programs; the general public without a business interest may face restrictions, so attendees should review eligibility criteria on the official site.

Pack Expo typically offers online tools to create a personalized agenda and exhibitor list, enabling visitors to focus on packaging and logistics technologies most relevant to their plant upgrades or new product launches.
