Where’s the Show Directory?
Acknowledging both the environmental impact and the popularity of smart phones and tablets, MHI no longer publishes a Show Directory. Instead, the official Modex app is available for free at Android and Apple app stores. Downloading information is at [url=http://www.modexshow.com/app]http://www.modexshow.com/app[/url].
The app offers an interactive map, exhibitor search, educational sessions search and information about the four keynotes. Attendees can also access their personalized agenda using the mobile app. Registration for events related to Modex that require separate fees (such as Industry Night and the Supply Chain Education Summit’s facility tours) is only be accessible through [url=http://www.modexshow.xn--comnot-5g0c]http://www.modexshow.xn--comnot-5g0c[/url] the app.
For attendees who prefer paper, a condensed, pre-printed Show Guide handout is available at the entrance to the exhibit hall. This guide includes an exhibitor list, floor plan, and a list of education sessions with times and locations.
What is ‘The Networking Lounge’?
The Networking Lounge is an interactive resource center that offers multiple social media and informational opportunities for show visitors. Located in Booth 3786 on the back wall of the show floor, the area has been dedicated as a social networking lounge—where attendees can catch the latest buzz about the event on Twitter (follow @MODEXShow and add #MODEXShow hashtag to your tweets), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, the Modex blog ([url=http://www.mhi.org/blog]http://www.mhi.org/blog[/url]), and the Modex YouTube Channel. It’s also home to a wireless Internet center for checking e-mail and networking with other attendees.
Immediately next to the Networking Lounge is information about Modex-sponsor MHI (Booth 3587), the resources and opportunities offered to manufacturing and supply chain professionals; details about the next ProMat expo, to be held in Chicago April 3-6, 2017 (Booth 3486); and an overview of the Modex Innovation Award winners.
