CMM Intl. 2005 attracted more than 15,000 industry professionals, says organizer, New York-based Paperloop.

While overall visitor numbers were down 30 percent from the 2003 event, Paperloop reports a combination of serious buyers and major purchases characterized the show. Attendees from close to 3,000 companies attended CMM 2005, which featured the latest trends and technology from over 500 exhibitors. Dozens of companies reported making major sales and/or capturing hundreds of quality leads that should result in major sales within the coming months, Paperloop says.

Mark your calendars: CMM 2007 will be held June 4–7, 2007, at the Stephens Convention Ctr. in Rosemont, IL.
