PACK EXPO Las Vegas is celebrating a milestone: 2025 marks 30 years since the show’s debut. Today, PACK EXPO Las Vegas continues to be a global hub for industry innovation and collaboration.

Show producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, has elevated PACK EXPO Las Vegas from a regional trade show to a global industry force —expanding its scale, influence and relevance across international markets. This year, the show will take place Sept. 29-Oct. 1 and will span more than 1 million net square feet, feature 2,300 exhibitors, and is expected to attract 35,000 attendees from more than 40 vertical markets.

“PACK EXPO Las Vegas has always been more than a trade show — it’s where the future of packaging and processing takes shape,” said Jim Pittas, president and CEO at PMMI, in a statement. “For 30 years, we’ve been proud to drive innovation, foster collaboration, and spotlight the technologies shaping tomorrow’s supply chains. As we look ahead, we remain focused on the forces transforming our industry: automation, AI, sustainability, and workforce development.”

Since its launch in 1995, each show edition has introduced cutting-edge technologies, from the earliest automation solutions to today’s advances in AI, robotics and sustainable packaging solutions.

In 2025, two new guided show floor tours will offer attendees curated experiences. The PACK EXPO Discovery Tours, sponsored by Formic, are ideal for first-time buyers and senior-level decision-makers looking for automation solutions to streamline and optimize various stages of packaging and processing.  The PACK EXPO Sustainability Tour, sponsored by Anchor Packaging, is tailored for consumer packaged goods (CPG) brand owners seeking eco-conscious solutions.

Beyond the exhibits, PACK EXPO Las Vegas offers more than 100 free educational sessions on the show floor and eight specialty pavilions covering healthcare, confectionery, containers and materials, processing, logistics, education and workforce development, industry association partners, and reusable packaging.

“As the industry accelerates toward smarter, more sustainable operations, PACK EXPO Las Vegas remains the one place where it all comes together — technology, insight, and community. This year’s show reflects the momentum we’re seeing across the market, with record participation and unmatched opportunities to learn, connect, and grow,” said Laura Thompson, vice president of trade shows at PMMI.
