Trade Show Tuesday: Modex 2020

Written by Paige Greene | Jan 14, 2020 2:15:38 PM

Trade shows are opportunities for customers, vendors and suppliers to either network with new faces or reconnect with old friends. However, there's more to the shows than booths, demos and meetings with product managers; it also serves as an opportunity to learn more about the industry. 

Modex also offers seminars on the show floors that are led by industry experts. These seminars tackle a variety of topics on supply chains, material handling and logistics. It's a great place to not just network (there are additional events to facilitate networking on top of the show and seminars), but to learn more about the industry and upcoming trends and innovations.

Outside of the seminars, there are also four keynote speakers:

  • Ambassador Nikki Haley US Ambassador to the United Nations (2017-2019)
  • Tan Le, Founder and CEO, EMOTIV
  • George W. Prest CEO, MHI 
  • Peyton and Archie Manning NFL Athletes

Finally, Hasan Minhaj, host of the popular Netflix comedy show Patriot Act, is the headlining entertainment for MHI Industry Night. A first generation American, Minhaj joined The Daily Show in 2014 where he worked as a correspondent until 2018, the same year he earned a Peabody Award for his one-hour comedy special Homecoming King. Tickets are $50 and include beer, wine and hors d'oeuvres. A portion of the ticket sales will be donated to the Material Handling Education Foundation, Inc.
