The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) today announced that the official Space Selection Lottery results for NPE2027: The Plastics Show® are now available on NPE.org/lottery, setting the stage for the next phase of successful planning for the largest plastics trade show in the Americas.
The Space Selection Lottery determines the order in which exhibitors select their booth locations on the NPE2027 show floor. During the 2027 cycle, interest in the show continues to surge: more than 160 new exhibitors have been added to the lottery, joining a growing roster of companies eager to secure their space at the plastics industry’s most influential event.
“NPE has always been the place where global leaders come to do business, launch technologies, and demonstrate what’s next for our industry. With exhibitors and attendees from around the world, NPE remains the premier stage for companies ready to demonstrate their leadership,” said Angela Mealy, NPE Executive Director.
To participate in booth selection, exhibitors must apply before the Space Selection & Planning event, taking place March 2–6, 2026, in Orlando, Florida. Exhibitors are added to the lottery in the order their booth deposits are received, making early action the best path to securing a prime floor location.
“NPE2027 is already shaping up to be the industry’s most anticipated events,” Mealy added. “Applying early is the key to ensuring your company can take full advantage of the opportunities the show floor provides.”
The NPE2027 show floor will introduce expanded and newly curated content areas, including:
Three Education Stages:
- Innovation Stage
- Sustainability Stage
- Packaging Stage (new for 2027)
Five Technology Zones:
- Bottle Zone
- Recycling & Sustainability Zone
- Materials Zone
- Manufacturing Services Zone
- Moldmaking Zone
NPE2024 was recognized as the 7th largest trade show of the year and earned the Grand Award for “Most Commendable Green Initiatives” at the TSE Gold 100 Awards demonstrating the show’s impact and the strength of the industry. Bringing that momentum into NPE2027, PLASTICS anticipates another high-demand, high-value event for exhibitors and attendees alike.
Exhibitor applications for NPE2027 are open now. To secure your place in the Space Selection Lottery and ensure your company is positioned for success at the industry’s marquee event, visit NPE.org/exhibit.
