Process Expo 2011 reports record-breaking attendance
The Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA) announced registered attendees of 12,732 for Process Expo 2011, which took place from Nov. 1-4, 2011, at McCormick Place in Chicago. International attendees at this year’s event totaled just over 14% of visitors, with the largest delegations coming from Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and Germany.
“We’re very happy with the strong turnout at this year’s show,” said Scott Scriven, chairman of the FPSA and president of Weber, Inc. “Not only did we double the size of the show floor over last year’s, we delivered more than twice as many attendees to the show at the same time. When you take the economy into account and what is going on at other industry trade shows, these results are absolutely remarkable and demonstrate the industry’s enthusiastic support of a horizontal tradeshow dedicated entirely to the food and beverage industry.”
