CPP EXPO to organize regional events starting in 2012

Paramus, NJ-based H.A. Bruno LLC, owners of CPP EXPO Chicago/Las Vegas, says it will begin organizing regional CPP EXPO events in 2012, ending its co‐location relationship with PACK EXPO International and PACK EXPO Las Vegas.

‘While we will always look back with gratitude toward PACK EXPO and the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) for allowing us to develop and co‐locate CPP EXPO alongside Pack Expo; it has always been our mutual understanding that one day, we would in a constructive fashion, separate our shows,’ said Leo Nadolske, president of CPP EXPO.  CPP and Pack Expo will end their co‐location with the Sept. 26‐28, 2011 event at the Las Vegas Convention Ctr.

CPP EXPO will take place regionally in ‘even’ numbered years, while holding its new International Main Expo in Chicago in ‘odd’ numbered years. The schedule now includes:

April 18th‐19th, 2012
CPP EXPO – The Cleveland Show, The I‐X Ctr Cleveland, OH.

April 2013
CPP EXPO – The Main International Event, Stephens Convention Ctr, Rosemont, IL.

May 2014
CPP EXPO – The Vegas Show – The Mandalay Bay Convention Ctr, Las Vegas, NV.

‘The demographic analysis of attendees influenced the decision to bring events to Cleveland, Chicago and Las Vegas.  We are taking our shows directly to the customers,’ added Nadolske, who reported that 7239 people attended CPP EXPO 2010.
