MHI: See the show

Welcome to Modex 2014—the industry’s newest expo for manufacturing and 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 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 former Walmart CEO Lee Scott. He will detail how to build a logistics and supply chain organization that is a market differentiator. The Keynote begins at 8:30 a.m. in Room B312. Just prior to the keynote, MHI CEO George Prest will announce the winners of the 2014 MHI Innovation Awards. Don’t miss the Innovation Award entries on Level Two of Hall B. It is truly an amazing display of innovative equipment and technologies.

There is also a full list of show floor educational seminars and co-located partner events. Please refer to your Modex Expo Guide for the complete schedule of events. Or download the Modex Mobile 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.

John Paxton,
President, MHI
