Record-breaking Show Opens Next Week
Mid-Atlantic market continues to sign on for PACK EXPO East 2020
Herndon, Va.; Feb. 28, 2020 - Attendees continue to register in record numbers in anticipation of Tuesday's opening of PACK EXPO East (March 3-5; Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia). Pre-registered attendance has already surpassed the final 2018 attendance numbers, with nearly 15 percent of registrations coming in this week alone.
"Every indicator reveals another unprecedented Philadelphia event, and the continuing rise in registrations confirms our projections that this will be the biggest and best PACK EXPO East yet," says Jim Pittas, president and CEO of show producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies. "The show floor is five percent bigger than 2018, and attendee response shows that this is an event the industry marks on their calendar as a must-attend."
As the premier regional packaging event in the Northeast, over 60 percent of pre-registered attendees are able to drive or train in from the tri-state area to take advantage of the features of a PACK EXPO event.
With the show taking place amid heightened awareness of the COVID-19, commonly known as the coronavirus, PMMI is closely monitoring developments and following the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) guidance. The safety of attendees and exhibitors is the top priority.
Show management and the Pennsylvania Convention Center are providing additional cleaning in common areas and access to hand sanitizers throughout the facility and encourage show participants to take common-sense precautions following CDC guidelines during the show. PMMI provides First Aid services located in Hall D, and they are readily accessible to address immediate health concerns throughout the show.

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
