Yes! If you book with the PACK EXPO East Hotel Reservation Office (Expovision) via the Travel & Hotel page, you will get the best available room rates for the dates of the show.
The hotel reservation system will open in March 2025.
Please beware of third-party hotel broker scams that may demand pre-payment and then oversell rooms. Expovision will require a credit card or signed check to hold your booking but will NOT charge a deposit.
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.
Unauthorized photography and videotaping are prohibited. You must obtain permission from the exhibitor prior to videotaping or taking pictures. No cameras or recording devices are permitted in the educational sessions.
No one under 16 years of age (including infants) will be permitted onto the exhibit floor at any time during move-in or move-out. No one under the age of 14 will be permitted onto the exhibit floor anytime during show days.
To become an exhibitor, you must submit an exhibit space application online and pay a non-refundable deposit. If we receive your application and deposit by February 3, 2025, your booth will be assigned as part of Priority Booth Selection. After February 3, 2025, booths will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. To learn more and start the process, go to Reserve My Booth.
PMMI member space rates vary, but the standard rate is $33.25 per square foot and includes drayage/material handling. If you are a PMMI Member and would like to know your discounted space rate, please call us at 571.612.3200 or email expo@pmmi.org.
Drayage/material handling is included in your space rate, provided your shipment/truck checks in at the Pennsylvania Convention Center by 12:00 pm on your assigned target move-in date. See the Rules & Regulations for additional information and special assessment pricing.
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. Drayage is included in the price of your booth space—a benefit that other packaging and processing trade shows do not offer.
A nonrefundable 25% deposit should accompany your Exhibit Space Application. An additional 50% payment is due by July 21, 2025. Final payment is due October 27, 2025. If you have any questions about payment for your booth space, you can contact Gisella Zapata at gzapata@pmmi.org or 571.612.3200.
Booths that are 599 sq. ft. and under have a maximum 12’ height restriction (no hanging signs permitted), booths 600-1499 sq. ft. have a maximum 14’ height restriction and booths 1500 sq. ft. and over have a maximum 18’ height restriction. Setback and line-of-sight rules apply. For more information, please consult the complete Rules & Regulations.
Exhibitors can register as many booth personnel as they want, for free, up until the early bird registration deadline (about one month before the show). After that, you will be charged $15 per badge. All badges must be picked up on-site. Registration will open September 2025.

Your 25% deposit on exhibit space is nonrefundable and nontransferable. For cancellations received after July 21, 2025, and by October 27, 2025, the exhibitor will forfeit any monies paid to date up to 75% of the total booth cost, with a maximum forfeiture of $10,000*. For cancellations received after October 27, 2025, the exhibitor is obligated to pay the total cost of space assigned.
For details, see the Rules & Regulations.
Each exhibitor is assigned a priority point for space selection. PACK EXPO East, PACK EXPO International, PACK EXPO Southeast and PACK EXPO Las Vegas hold separate priority standings. By exhibiting continuously, and by those ahead of you in priority not exhibiting, an exhibitor begins to move up the priority point system. Choosing not to exhibit at other PACK EXPO shows does not affect your PACK EXPO East priority status. For more information, please review the Priority Point Process.
