Modex 2014: Get access to Supply Chain & Transportation and the Georgia Logistics Summit

Maximize your time with two shows in one hall, plus Georgia Logistics Summit upstairs


Your Modex 2014 registration not only gives you access to the 180,000 square feet of exhibits, educational sessions and keynotes in The Georgia World Congress Center’s Hall B, it also grants you access to the first-ever Supply Chain & Transportation USA Exhibition & Conference (SCT).

Exhibits are grouped into four solution centers: transportation, logistics, industrial real estate and the future of supply chain. The latest advances and integrated solutions for transporting goods will be showcased.

SCT exhibitors can be found in the same hall as Modex exhibitors, to the left of the main entrance to the show. Both shows run concurrently, Monday through Thursday, and share identical hours: today through Wednesday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Thursday, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. More information about the show is at [url=http://www.supplychainusaexpo.com]http://www.supplychainusaexpo.com[/url].
