TAPPI/AICC SuperCorrExpo® Rescheduled to August 2021
Event remains at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL
TAPPI and AICC have announced the rescheduling of SuperCorrExpo® 2020. This mega-event – considered the largest corrugated show of its kind in the western hemisphere – will now be held August 8 – 12, 2021due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 Coronavirus. The show remains at the Orlando County Convention Center in Orlando, FL., USA.
In a joint statement issued today, TAPPI President and CEO Larry N. Montague and AICC President Mike D’Angelo, said, “The decision to postpone SuperCorrExpo was made after getting feedback from our members, volunteers, exhibitors and attendees. We wanted to do the right thing for them so they can focus on their families and supporting their companies in 2020. SuperCorrExpo will be there in 2021 to support the growth of our Industry after this crisis.”
Normally held every four years, SuperCorrExpo attracts more than 6,000 attendees and covers nearly 160,000 square feet of exhibition space featuring working machinery, product demonstrations and hands-on activities. More than 220 corrugated-related companies have already signed on to be a part of the show, hailing from many parts of the world.
Both Montague and D’Angelo confirmed their organization’s commitment to the industry. “We are always guided by the voices of the industry we serve and together with them we will build an even stronger event in 2021,” they stated. “After the world emerges from this crisis, we will still have the need, perhaps more than ever, to learn, connect, and plan for the future – and we will be there stronger together.”
