With more than 850 exhibits, 100 informational seminars and 300,000 square feet of expo space, Modex 2018 focuses on best-in-class solutions for manufacturing and supply chain operations.

Speaking just ahead of the morning’s keynote speaker Juan Perez, president of MHI Brett Wood welcomed a conference room packed with attendees and exhibitors to Modex 2018.

Encompassing more than 100 informational and educational seminars, Modex spreads across 300,000 square feet of expo space. The show’s exhibits represent all segments of the materials handling, logistics and transportation industry—from traditional, manual equipment to computerized, automated systems and smart, connected supply chain technologies.

For the first time ever, the event is being held in two halls—B and C—giving attendees an opportunity to explore the solutions that will keep their supply chains moving forward.

Modex also features four keynotes and new theaters on smart city logistics; connected supply chain solutions; and transportation and logistics solutions. Once again co-located with the Georgia Logistics Summit, the event offers a broad scope of educational content and insights while also giving attendees a first-hand look at the newest innovations in supply chain technology and equipment.

“MHI has expanded the educational and networking offerings at Modex 2018 to provide attendees with the best possible show experience and to connect them with the information and tools they need to tackle the challenges of today’s always-on business environment,” said George Prest, CEO of MHI. “Modex brings the industry together to showcase the latest solutions for future manufacturing and supply chain challenges.”

Modex 2018 will take place April 9-12, 2018, in Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center. The tradeshow will showcase the latest supply chain equipment and systems solutions plus an expansive selection of learning and networking opportunities.
