“Response from our previous Industry Nights has been phenomenal, and people really enjoy the opportunity to fit in some additional networking and have a few laughs off the show floor,” said George Prest, CEO of MHI. “Additionally, there’s a lot of excitement surrounding the awards presentations and the door prize drawing, which this year is a ‘Trip of a Lifetime’ luxury package for four people, valued at $30,000.” (Official door prize rules can be found at modexshow.com/rules.)

The evening will also feature the presentation of the 2018 Innovation Awards in three categories: Best New Innovation, Best Innovation of an Existing Product, and Best Information Technology (IT) Innovation.
