360 Live Media | NPE2024

Breaking the mold to drive record-breaking attendance

Six years after its last iteration, NPE, the largest plastics trade show in the Americas, needed a successful return with NPE2024. Facing an evolving industry landscape, 360 Live Media partnered with the Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) to reimagine the show across marketing, sales, operations, and content to attract 51,000+ attendees. Together, we positioned NPE2024 as the launchpad for the next generation of plastics professionals and a platform for the industry’s future.

NPE2024 exemplified the power of a fully integrated event marketing strategy, seamlessly connecting every phase from exhibit sales to attendee acquisition. The show not only marked a successful event after a six-year hiatus, but also welcomed a new generation of plastics professionals and redefined the future of the industry.
