PACKAIR STANDS OUT AT 2009

SHOW-BIZ EXPO!

 The 2009 Showbiz Expo absolutely filled the main hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center, and Packair Airfreight and Customs Brokers Inc. was the only logistics company with a booth!  While Packair does a good business in regular or “hard freight”, we have a very definite niche in shipping for the entertainment industry, so where else would we be?!

  According to our roving reporter, the crowds were amazing in many respects. First, the sheer volume of displays and booths, and then the incredible number of attendees, making parking, registering and finding your booth a real challenge. If you’re easily distracted, you might never find your booth!

 This is a show that allows people in the trade or supporting it, to interact and connect, and yet would offer a great afternoon of star watching for the avid movie buff. 

Actors, producers, makeup artists, musicians, directors, stage managers, writers, sound technicians, and grip personnel were everywhere. Nearly everyone was either looking for a project or promoting one. There were those attending to check out products (latest in camera, sound, lighting equipment, and much, much more,) or services—like us—to offer people in the entertainment industry. It was easy to spot those with projects or secure positions, as more often than not, they turned their badge to prevent you from seeing their names!  The rest of us, oh yes, I’m not ashamed to say, I hope you’ll remember my name, so you’ll know who to call when you’ve got a product or a production to move!
