Reflections on the Final Day at PACK EXPO International 2024
As I wrap up my time at PACK EXPO International 2024 in Chicago, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement for the future. This event has been a whirlwind of learning, connection, and inspiration.
Over the past few days, I’ve reconnected with old friends and industry colleagues, sharing stories and insights that remind me why I love this field. Meeting new professionals from diverse backgrounds has broadened my perspective and introduced me to innovative ideas that I can’t wait to explore further.
The sheer scale of PACK EXPO is astounding. With over 2,700 exhibitors spanning 1.3 million square feet, it’s been a hub of cutting-edge technology and solutions. On average, I’ve walked about 12,000 steps each day, engaging in more than 15 interviews and meetings daily. These interactions have been invaluable, providing fresh knowledge and sparking new ideas to enhance productivity and efficiency in food manufacturing.
One highlight was the emphasis on sustainability. The introduction of Sustainability Central offered deep dives into eco-friendly practices, showcasing how our industry is evolving to meet environmental challenges.
As I return to Dallas, I’m eager to implement the insights gained and continue conversations with the incredible individuals I’ve met. If we didn’t get a chance to connect at the expo, let’s do so here. Feel free to reach out with questions or ideas—we’re all in this journey of innovation together.
