PLMA to Feature Innovation Hall

NEW YORK — The Private Label Manufacturers Association's Trade Show, to be held Nov. 15-17 in Chicago, will feature a new Innovation Hall, a “show-within-a-show” featuring products and services for private label that go beyond product development.

Innovation Hall will open the day before the regular show floor starts so that exhibitors and attendees can participate.

Companies separate from those exhibiting as part of the main show have already either agreed to exhibit in Innovation Hall, or have expressed a strong interest in doing so. They include GfK Roper (consumer research and polling); Interbrand (package consulting and design); Willard Bishop (consulting and research); and Miller Zell (store design and planning), according to PLMA.
