PACKEX Montreal 2026 at Palais des congrès: where to stay

PACKEX MONTREAL returns November 11–12, 2026 to the Palais des congrès de Montréal as Canada's national showcase for packaging, food processing, material handling and logistics. Running alongside the wider Advanced Design & Manufacturing Montréal (ADM Montréal) platform, the show brings six connected expos under one roof and gathers more than 250 suppliers from Québec's advanced manufacturing supply chain. On the PACKEX side, attendees can examine the newest packaging technologies, machinery and materials, with dedicated focus areas spanning F&B packaging, sustainable packaging and labeling. Because the floor is co-located with automation, plastics, processing, design and battery expos, visitors can compare adjacent equipment and service lines without leaving the venue. Exhibitor profiles cover 3D printing and additive manufacturing, assembly, CAD/CAM, robotics and automation, injection molding, processing equipment and contract manufacturing, while the audience skews toward engineers, plant and production professionals, R&D specialists, executives and purchasing teams. The 2026 edition adds the new Strategic Innovations Conference, a three-day technical program (November 10–12) organized around Industrial AI, electrification and national defence. Expo hours run 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Wednesday and 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Thursday.
