MODEX 2014 Will Feature 800 exhibits and over 100 educational sessions

When the industry’s largest expo for manufacturing and the supply chain, MODEX 2014, opens on March 17 it will include over 800 exhibits covering 200,000 square feet.

Thanks in large part to the collocation of events like Supply Chain & Transportation USA (SC&T USA) and the Georgia Logistics Summit, MODEX 2014 will be the largest international expo and conference of its kind held in North America. Tens of thousands of manufacturing and supply chain professionals from over 100 countries around the globe will attend.

The MODEX Supply Chain Conference will include over 100 complimentary educational sessions outlining leading trends, best practices and state-of-the-art equipment and technology solutions. MODEX keynotes will feature Edward H. Bastian, President of Delta Air Lines; former Walmart CEO Lee Scott; and Scott Sopher, principal with Deloitte Consulting LLP’s Supply Chain practice.

“Collocating Supply Chain and Transportation USA with MODEX 2014 will allow manufacturing and supply chain professionals unparalleled education and networking opportunities as well as exposure to the broadest material handling, logistics and supply chain equipment and technology display of any show of its kind in North America,” says George Prest, Chief Executive Officer for MHI.

“For attendees and exhibitors, these collocations add even more value to the MODEX 2014 event,” added Prest. “Reed Exhibitions, the producer of SC&T USA, is a recognized as a global leader in supply chain and logistics events. Additionally, the 2013 Georgia Logistics Summit hosted over 2,000 attendees from 30 states and 9 nations and expects to draw even more in conjunction with MODEX 2014.
