MODEX is coming to Atlanta this March.  Phoenix Amusements has been supplying entertainment for hospitality suites or traffic builders to clients for years at the MODEX show. But, what is the MODEX tradeshow?  According to MODEXShow.com, “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. At MODEX you will meet 800 of the leading providers and see their solutions in person, in action”.  This year they will also combine the Supply Chain & Transportation USA conference (SCT).  For those in Supply Chain Management, this must be heaven!  

It’s a pretty big show with an estimated 20,000 attendees and over 800 exhibitors on 180,000 square foot show floor.  This year its being held at Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center on March 17th through 20th.

According to the show managers, MHI, “Thirty-Six Percent of MODEX attendees plan on spending $1 million or more on Manufacturing and Supply Chain solutions in the next 18 months.”  In doing some research on the show, I came across this video of one of the 800 providers exhibiting at the show.  I’m truly amazed at the wonders of technology and production capabilities in today’s industries.  The video demonstrates how this company has integrated 3D printing in the production of steel products.  Did I mention how much I am fascinated with anything involving the printing process?  Watch and enjoy!
