Due to the growing concern about COVID-19, MHI is canceling the Spring Meetings originally scheduled to be held at the Westin Charlotte from April 26-29.

Today marks the conclusion of Modex 2020, four days of comprehensive problem solving and networking to provide solutions to the complex manufacturing and supply chain challenges faced by industry today.

The coronavirus outbreak impacted attendance at Modex 2020, but MHI is looking ahead to a record-breaking ProMat 2021—the industry’s premier supply chain event. ProMat will once again be held at McCormick Place in Chicago, April 12-15, 2021.

The 2020 report, the seventh in a series of MHI Annual Industry Reports developed in collaboration with Deloitte, is titled “Embracing the Digital Mindset: Connecting Data, Talent and Technology in Digital Supply Chains.”

I hope that you are finding your time at Modex 2020 to be both productive and enjoyable.
