No, all PACK EXPO East hotels in our room block are located within a few minutes’ walk of the convention center, so no shuttle services will be provided.
To receive discount room rates for show participants, make your reservations through the Travel + Hotel section of this website. The button on the Book Hotel page connects you to the reservations system for Expovision, the official Hotel Reservation Office for PACK EXPO East.

Go to the Exhibitor Dashboard (available fall 2021). The online Exhibitor Search is the directory for the show. As an exhibitor, you are automatically included in the online directory (Exhibitor Search) and the printed Show Guide. The PACK EXPO East Show Guide lists only exhibiting company names and booth numbers. All other information you wish to convey to attendees about your company should be in your online company profile.

If you have any questions about your Exhibitor Dashboard contact the PMMI Show Department at expo@pmmi.org or 571.612.3200.

Each exhibitor is assigned a priority point ranking for space selection. PACK EXPO East, PACK EXPO International and PACK EXPO Las Vegas hold separate priority standings. By exhibiting continuously, and those ahead of you in priority not exhibiting, an exhibitor begins to move up the priority point system. Choosing not to exhibit at PACK EXPO Las Vegas or PACK EXPO International does not affect your PACK EXPO East priority.
A nonrefundable 25% deposit should accompany your Exhibit Space Application. An additional 50% payment is due by August 27, 2021. Final payment is due November 19, 2021. If you have any questions about payment for your booth space, you can contact Dorine Cole at dcole@pmmi.org or 571.612.3200.
Drayage is the moving of the exhibitor’s machinery, etc., off the exhibitor’s truck at the dock to the exhibitor’s booth and back to the dock to be loaded back onto the truck. This is included in the price of the exhibitor’s booth space.
