MHI: 4 days of non-stop solutions

As chairman of MHI and on behalf of our officers and members, it is my privilege to welcome you to Modex 2016—the Greatest Supply Chain Show on Earth.

Modex 2016 will be four days of non-stop solutions for your manufacturing and supply chain operations. I am pleased to tell you that Supply Chain & Transportation USA (SCT) is co-locating with Modex 2016. In addition to the Modex exhibits and educational offerings this week, SCT will include exhibits located in a dedicated area on the show floor to provide visitors with a more complete supply chain experience.

To make it easier for you to find the solutions you need, Modex’s 800 exhibits are organized into convenient solution-specific centers: manufacturing and assembly solutions; information technology (IT) solutions; fulfillment and delivery solutions; and SCT.

The Modex Supply Chain Conference includes theater centers on the show floor featuring 100 show floor educational seminars. In addition, 30 association and university partners are co-locating with Modex to offer additional educational offerings at the Supply Chain Education Summit on Level 2 of the Georgia World Congress Center. Please visit the show floor theaters at the right of the show floor or consult your Modex/SCT Expo Guide for titles, locations and times of these educational sessions. You can also download the official Modex app to have all this information at your fingertips.

Modex will also feature keynotes today, tomorrow and Wednesday that will explore many issues and trends impacting supply chains. Today, Peter Diamandis, chairman and CEO of XPRIZE Foundation will discuss “How to Create a Culture of Innovation within your Company” at 8:45 a.m. in the Thomas Murphy Ballroom on Level 5 of the Georgia World Congress Center Building B.

In addition, we will announce our MHI Innovation Award winners during MHI Industry Night on Wednesday. The evening will also feature The Official Blues Brothers Revue and a Porsche Cayman S as a door prize (see ModexShow.com/rules for official rules). The MHI Innovation award showcases new products and innovations presented by Modex exhibitors. The winners will be chosen in three categories: Best New Innovation, Best Innovation of an Existing Product and Best IT Innovation. I encourage you to view all the MHI Innovation Award submissions in the Level 2 Lobby of Hall B of the Georgia World Congress Center.

Modex offers many opportunities to connect with your peers in the networking lounge at the back of the show floor. The lounge offers opportunities to meet and network with other attendees as well as Wi-Fi, e-mail kiosks and access to information on career opportunities offered by Modex exhibitors in Career Forum kiosks.

MHI is proud to sponsor Modex and ProMat 2017 (April 3-6, 2017 at Chicago’s McCormick Place) and to represent the industry that provides the essential solutions that make supply chains work. For more information on MHI programs, visit Booth 3587 on the Modex show floor or visit MHI.org.
