Where to stay in Atlanta for PACK EXPO Southeast 2027

PACK EXPO Southeast is PMMI's biennial packaging and processing event, hosted at the Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta. The 2027 edition takes place April 12–14, bringing together OEMs, materials suppliers, automation providers and end users from more than 40 vertical industries. On the show floor, the emphasis is on machinery in action: bagging, pouching and wrapping lines, cartoning, filling, labeling, conveying and palletizing systems. Processing equipment for food, beverage, life sciences, cosmetics, household and industrial chemicals runs alongside packaging materials, containers and controls. Exhibitors use the three-day window to launch new equipment, meet regional decision-makers from the Southeast's CPG and life science corridor, and build qualified pipeline. Attendees include plant managers, engineers, operations and procurement teams, brand owners and package designers. Registration opens in October 2026, with early-bird pricing through March 19, 2027. The show is trade-only, runs every two years, and occupies Hall C of the GWCC — a short walk from a cluster of official host hotels in downtown Atlanta.
