Where will the package-printing, converting and packaged-goods industries be next month? In Las Vegas for what's fast-becoming "Industry Week," say trade show organizers H.A. Bruno LLC and PMMI.

The alliance formed by Bruno (producer of CPP Expo 2005) and PMMI (organizer of Pack Expo Las Vegas) allows for cross-over attendance between the expositions. CPP Expo will take place at the Sands Expo & Convention Ctr., and Pack Expo Las Vegas will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Ctr. Both shows run concurrently Sept. 26–28.

For attendees, the agreement also includes honoring badges for the respective events; Information Counters at each venue; complimentary shuttle service between venues, and providing tools for ease of navigation between events and all converting-related association meetings taking place in Las Vegas that week.

Registration for CPP Expo allows visitors to request details on all applicable meetings, including AIMCAL, CEMA, Adhesive & Sealant Council, RadTech, AICC (Regions I & II), Film and Bag Federation, and Composite Can and Tube Institute. In addition, both show management teams have extended to TAPPI (Technical Association of the Pulp & Paper Industry) conference delegates (approximately 1,600+ visitors) complimentary registration and admission to exhibits that will collectively cover 550,000 sq ft in both convention centers.

Pack Expo Las Vegas registrants can create a personalize Website page for exhibits and conference programs of interest via "My Pack Expo" (shown above). The Web-based tool intelligently mines the Pack Expo Las Vegas database of people, products and conference sessions, and generates a custom report tailored to each attendees' needs and interests. After attendees register, they will receive an e-mail with a personalized report detailing people they should meet, companies they should visit and conference sessions they should attend, all based on the preference each attendee outlines when they register.
