From MHI: Meet the show sponsor

I hope that you are finding your time at MODEX 2018 to be both productive and enjoyable. I would like to take a few moments to introduce you to the sponsor of this event—MHI. Since 1945, MHI has been the leading association in the United States representing the Industry that produces material handing and logistics solutions—the Industry that Makes Supply Chains Work.

We will announce the 2018 MHI Innovation Award winners tonight during the MHI Industry Night with Jim Gaffigan. This award showcases new products and innovations presented by Modex exhibitors. The winners will be chosen in three categories: Best New Innovation, Best IT Innovation and Best Innovation of an Existing Product. I encourage you to view all the MHI Innovation Award submissions in the Level 2 of Building B of the Georgia World Congress Center. If you would like to attend Industry Night, tickets are $50 and can be purchased at Modex Registration on Level 4. The event will be held after the show today in the Thomas Murphy Ballroom. The door prize for this event is a $30,000 trip of a lifetime – see ModexShow.com/rules to learn more.
