For the 2025 show, initial priority space selection will be based on PACK EXPO International 2024 priority. Apply to exhibit in the inaugural show and establish your priority for all further PACK EXPO Southeast shows. Each exhibitor is assigned a priority point for space selection. PACK EXPO Southeast, PACK EXPO International, PACK EXPO Las Vegas and PACK EXPO East 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 Southeast priority status. For more information, please review the Priority Point Process.

PMMI does not sell or rent attendee email lists due to our strict adherence to data protection and privacy laws. Any solicitation claiming to have the email list of PACK EXPO Southeast attendees, or attendee lists from any PACK EXPO show, is fraudulent. If you are contacted by third-party companies via email, phone, or fax, offering email lists, please be aware that the information they offer should be considered entirely suspect as we do not allow access to the contact information of show attendees. We encourage you to block the sender, delete the email, and report scams to the U.S.FTC fraud division. When reporting, select “An Impersonator,” followed by “Well-Known or Trusted Business.” If you receive a solicitation and are unsure of the vendor’s affiliation with PMMI or PACK EXPO Southeast, please contact the PMMI Show Department at 571.612.3200 or expo@pmmi.org.
