Suppliers share highlights from March event
MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY CHAIN PROFESSIONALS CONVERGED March 9-12 on Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center as they came together for MODEX 2020 to find new equipment and technology solutions, gain knowledge and network with industry peers to solve common supply chain challenges.
Based on the information from the WHO, CDC and local authorities at the time with regard to COVID-19, the MODEX 2020 expo was held with 894 exhibits covering 355,790 net square feet. Adding in show floor theaters and networking areas, the total gross footprint of the MODEX show floor was 900,000 square feet.
