The fall conference season is officially in full swing, and September is one of the busiest months of the year for our team at SmartSolve. With so many exciting opportunities to connect with industry leaders, showcase our sustainable solutions, and learn what’s next in packaging and CPG innovation, we’re spreading out across the country to make sure we don’t miss a thing.
From the bright lights of Las Vegas to the historic harbor of Boston, our team members will be representing SmartSolve at three incredible events: PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Groceryshop, and SPC Advance. Each event offers a unique angle—whether it’s technology and automation, CPG innovation, or sustainable packaging leadership—and together they reflect our values of innovation, sustainability, and collaboration.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas
📅 Dates: September 29 – October 1, 2025
📍 Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
As one of the largest and most influential packaging and processing trade shows in North America, PACK EXPO Las Vegas is truly where the industry comes together.

Groceryshop 2025
📅 Dates: September 28 – October 1, 2025 (Exhibit Hall open Sept. 29–30)
📍 Location: Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
Right down the street from PACK EXPO, Groceryshop 2025 is where the grocery and CPG world collides with technology and retail innovation. It’s a high-energy event designed to help brands, retailers, and suppliers reimagine the future of food and consumer goods.
This year’s event is especially exciting because it doubles down on CPG innovation. Innovation is one of our core value at SmartSolve and we’re excited to attend for the first time. Groceryshop is a space for bold ideas, disruptive thinking, and actionable insights that drive transformation.

SPC Advance 2025
📅 Dates: September 29 – October 1, 2025
📍 Location: Omni Seaport, Boston, MA
While part of our team is on the West Coast, SmartSolve will also have a strong presence in Boston for SPC Advance 2025, hosted by the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC). As long-time members of SPC, we value the coalition’s role in fostering collaboration and accelerating progress toward a circular economy for packaging.
SPC Advance is an intimate, members-only event that offers deep dives into sustainable packaging practices, industry standards, and forward-looking research. It’s also where attendees can build partnerships and collaborate on meaningful initiatives that create real impact.
