Know Before You GO to PACK EXPO East

All attendee badges will be available for on-site pickup. Bring your confirmation email (printed or digital) and you’ll be on your way in no time. To register on-site, visit the Registration/Badge Pick-up counters for assistance. Lanyards will be provided at various kiosks on-site.

Badge Pick-Up Counters and Attendee Registration are located on Level 2 in the front entrance to Exhibit Hall D of the Pennsylvania Convention Center. It is easily accessible from the connected walkway from the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown and just up the escalators from the 13th and Arch Street entrance.

Registration opens daily at 8:00 am

Your badge provides you with access to the exhibit hall all 3 days of the show as well as networking events (please check as some events may require an RSVP). It works as your own personal contact card. If you’d like to connect with an exhibitor, including show floor sessions, scanning your badge allows them to contact you. Post-show, you’ll also receive a list of your visits to help you follow up with them via the Digital Backpack.

You get free access to the Digital Backpack, a personalized website that provides you with a listing of the exhibitors who scanned your badge, along with any exhibitor e-literature Digital Backpack QR codes that you scan with your phone at the show. Plus, easily share this information with your team, eliminating the need for printed materials and ensuring you don’t lose track of your exhibitor visits.

Philadelphia is easily accessible by regional train services and Amtrak, by all major airlines, and, of course, by car. Once in Center City, you’ll find it easy to walk or catch a taxi, Uber or Lyft to restaurants and sights. Hotels in our official room block are all within walking distance of the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
