The Plastics Technology Expo (PTXPO) is a three-day showcase that encompasses cutting-edge technologies and innovations. It will offer attendees an expansive exhibit hall, educational sessions, first look at the newest plastics machinery and a variety of networking opportunities.
PTXPO will take place on March 18-20, 2025, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. The Convention Center will open on Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., on Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The expo will be organized into major process pavilions, featuring over 200 exhibitors. This gives attendees the ability to easily plan their show experience and navigate the exhibitor floor. The pavilion categories include 3D printing, auxiliary equipment, extrusion and thermoforming, injection and blow molding, materials, moldmaking, recycling, and robotics and automation. In addition, there will be educational opportunities with leading industry experts on topics such as sustainability, workforce development, new technologies, supply chain management, sourcing and more.
