What is MODEX 2014?

According to the official website,

MODEX 2014® is the industry’s newest expo for the manufacturing and supply chain industries. It ‘s where the best and brightest thinkers in the supply chain gather to discuss the trends of today and the challenges of tomorrow. MODEX featured 800 of the leading providers and their solutions in person, in action.
MODEX also featured learning opportunities on the latest trends and technologies from leading experts at the MODEX Supply Chain Conference that featured 150 sessions including keynotes from Gil West, Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer of Delta Air Lines; former Walmart CEO Lee Scott; and Scott Sopher, principal with Deloitte Consulting.

I have to say, that’s a pretty good description of what turned out to be an eye-opening & entertaining show with some great networking opportunities. The show floor was huge & the attendance was great. The team at MMH.com wrote about the show’s success on their blog. Here’s an excerpt:

The expo attracted 23,000 key decision-makers in virtually all manufacturing, logistics, distribution and supply chain industries. The expo featured the solutions of almost 800 exhibitors covering 225,000 net square feet. Reflecting the global nature of the expo, more than 100 countries and six continents were represented at this year ‘s Modex. Modex 2014 was a selected participant in the U.S. Department of Commerce International Buyer Program Select and the expo included an International Visitors Center.

“Attendees were manufacturing and supply chain professionals with very specific objectives and buying plans in hand. They know that investing in the latest supply chain innovations is the key to building and maintaining their competitive advantage, said George W. Prest, CEO of MHI. “Attendees were impressed with the wide range of material handling, logistics and supply chain equipment and systems solutions and education offered at Modex and exhibitors were very impressed with the quantity and quality of attendees.
