Attending industry events offers many benefits for young professionals and can serve as an invaluable part of the career development journey. This year, MHI has taken the Modex 2024 young professionals event up a notch by holding it at Terminus 330, where attendees can unwind and meet other young professionals in style.
A short walk from the Georgia World Congress Center, the event will feature a DJ, heavy appetizers and drinks. The venue features a rooftop terrace and a speakeasy space. Mary Alyson Ammons, MHI’s manager, member engagement, says the offsite event provides an “elevated experience” for attendees, most of whom are under the age of 40 and working in the material handling and supply chain industry.
“We’re hoping to attract more young professionals both to the show and to our events, to help illustrate that this is an important audience for MHI and for our industry as a whole,” says Ammons. The event is primarily focused on networking and on getting younger professionals to break out of their shells and talk to people who share their values, challenges and aspirations.
“It’s an opportunity to network with other people their age to see what they're experiencing at the show, make connections on their own and give young professionals a ‘home of their own,’” says Ammons. “This is a place for the young professionals to be on their own and to start creating their own peer networks.”
The MHI Young Professionals Networking Event will take place Monday March 11th from 6pm - 8pm. The event will be held at Terminus 330 (a short walk from GWCC). Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Cost: $10.
