Ed MarshHOST
And so I'm excited to dig into this whole media topic today with Joe Angel.
Ed MarshHOST
Joe is the Executive Vice President of Industry Outreach for PMMI, which used to be the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute.
Ed MarshHOST
Now it's the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.
Ed MarshHOST
He was a founding partner of Summit Media Group, and he launched the Packaging World magazine in 1994.
Ed MarshHOST
Summit was acquired in 2014 by PMMI, and Joe led the PMMI Media Group as president until October 22, before he moved on to the parent organization, PMMI, as the EVP to foster relationships with education.
Mark GreenGUEST
Cause then I learn if I can, or if there's somebody else waiting, then I'll talk to them and it goes back and forth.
Oliver StaufferHOST
So it's almost like PMMI should like rent out a much bigger space and we should probably have even more volunteers and there should be more people, more of these conversations happening because It's so valuable to get that industry experience applied to a new problem or solution.
Mark GreenGUEST
I think maybe the issue, the bigger issue is that people don't really understand that we're there to help them.
Mark GreenGUEST
They might see Ask the Expert and a lot of people will walk up and ask questions like, hey, where do I register? Or where's the bathroom? Things like that.
Sean RileyHOST
I was not able to take the train.
Sean RileyHOST
It was in Montreal, the PMMI annual meeting.
Sean RileyHOST
A bunch of good stuff.
Sean RileyHOST
A lot of tariff talk, obviously, since we were in Canada.
Sean RileyHOST
Everybody was nice to me, even though I was an American, which is good.
Sean RileyHOST
But the one thing that really stuck with me that I came out with that I found interesting was they had a CPG panel with a couple of CPG reps up there talking about what they're seeing.
Sean RileyHOST
And A lot of the PMMI data from top to top and Vision 2030 and stuff like that still has speed as the number one priority, as the thing that everybody is looking for.
Sean RileyHOST
And as soon as that came up on the screen, One of the gentlemen was from Old Dutch Foods at their Calgary facility and immediately jumped and said that should be lowered down on the list and that changeover and flexibility should be higher up on the list, which would point to what you're talking about with them needing to be flexible with that type of different products.
