ProMat 2019 was the largest in the 34-year history of the event, with registrations of 49,718 —an 11 percent attendance jump over 2017, the organizer states. The four-day expo, April 8-11, covered 425,000 net square feet of exhibit space on two show floors at Chicago's McCormick Place with 938 exhibiting companies. The ProMat expo was once again collocated with Automate 2019. ProMat visitors included key decision-makers in virtually all manufacturing and supply chain industries including a majority of the Fortune 1000 and Top 100 Retailers. The quality of the visitors was very strong with a large number of buying teams from key firms in attendance.
“The continued success of ProMat is proof of not only the strength of our industry but of MHI’s commitment to offering a best-in-class supply chain event experience,” says George Prest CEO of MHI. “MHI is dedicated to creating the best environment for exhibitors to showcase their cutting-edge solutions and to maximizing ProMat’s overall Wow-factor by constantly improving the show’s educational and networking opportunities.”
Reflecting the growing global nature of the event, attendees from outside the United States at this year's ProMat represented 145 countries and six continents. They were welcomed by ProMat's International Visitors Center. The conference included over 140 show floor educational seminars on a variety of topics and the event featured solution centers with exhibits and education on robotics, supply chain sustainability and emerging technologies.
