About PackExpo Southeast
PackExpo Southeast is a major packaging and processing trade show for the Southeast region, featuring technology and solutions for manufacturing and supply chain industries.
PACK EXPO Southeast 2027
PACK EXPO Southeast 2027 runs April 12–14, 2027, in Exhibit Hall C (Building C) of the Georgia World Congress Center, 285 Andrew Young International Blvd NW, Atlanta.
What it is
PACK EXPO Southeast is a packaging and processing trade show held every two years in Atlanta by PMMI, the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies. Exhibitors are OEMs and suppliers of packaging machinery, processing equipment, automation and controls, robotics, packaging materials and containers, and life sciences equipment. Buyers come from more than 40 vertical industries, mainly food and beverage, life sciences (pharmaceuticals, biologics, nutraceuticals and medical devices), cosmetics and personal care, automotive, and household and industrial chemicals.
Show hours
- Monday, April 12: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
- Tuesday, April 13: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
- Wednesday, April 14: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm (closes an hour early)
Attendee registration opens in October 2026. No one under 14 is allowed on the show floor, including strollers and carried infants, before, during or after the show. Photographing or filming booths requires the exhibitor's permission, and recording is not allowed in education sessions.
Education and logistics
Education is free and runs on knowledge-sharing stages on the show floor. Technology experts, trade associations and OEM representatives give short sessions, and the call for speakers opens in November 2026.
Networking events run off the floor, and the show page also lists a Reusable Packaging Pavilion. The official hotels are within walking distance of the convention center, so there is no shuttle, and the BLUE parking lot is closest to the show entrance.
