From MHI: Explore and enjoy the opportunities

Welcome to Modex 2016—the industry expo for supply chain innovation. At Modex you will see best-in-class manufacturing and supply chain solutions from 800 exhibiting companies along with a Supply Chain Conference of more than 100 educational sessions.

MHI wants to make it as easy as possible to find the products and solutions that interest you and address your operational and supply chain challenges. That’s why we are offering Exhibitor Solution Locator Kiosks located at the front of the show floor. These kiosks allow you to search exhibitors and products displayed on the show floor, as well as create and print a personalized report. In addition, you can download the official Modex app at MODEXShow.com/app to have all this information on your Apple or Android device.

I encourage you to take advantage of the opportunities available at networking lounge located at the back of the Modex show floor. The networking lounge features a Wi-Fi and e-mail center as well as screens displaying video and what people are saying about Modex through social media. You can also learn about job opportunities provided by exhibitors at the Modex Career Forum kiosks.

This morning’s keynote session features Cisco’s Jack Allan. He will detail how future supply chains will be connected into one integrated system. The keynote begins at 8:45 a.m. in the Thomas Murphy Ballroom on Level 5 of Hall B.

There is also a full list of show floor educational seminars and Supply Chain Education Summit events including the MHI Young Professionals Next Generation Supply Chain Workforce track in Rooms B312/B313a. The track begins with a “Women in Supply Chain” session at 10:00 a.m. and continues through the afternoon. Please refer to your Expo Guide for the complete schedule of events. Or download the app and have all of this information at your fingertips.

I hope that your visit to Modex is both informative and productive, and during the next three days you will find solutions for your manufacturing and supply chain operations.
