It was a great show all around, from numbers to lead quality and education sessions to networking events to keynotes:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We\u2019ve had a great show! We wanted to meet a lot of new clients we could help with tugging materials instead of using forktrucks for deliveries, and we were busy with that. We introduced our hands-free material movement system, CARRYMATiC, at the show too. We\u2019ve had a lot of visits from AGV companies seeking cart solutions, as well.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014Jon McKee, J-tec Industries, Inc.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We wanted to spread the word about our projects. It is a source of networking for us, too. It\u2019s been an incredibly productive period of time for us. We are also here to educate and provide demos. The demo is the most important thing we do here. We benefit from talking to people too. We go to MODEX and ProMat every year.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014Nancy Gilberti, OPEX Corporation<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We had some great leads and people showed definitive interest in our print and apply solutions. All in all, the people who stopped by the booth were good. They asked a lot of good questions.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014Ken Terrazzino, Toshiba America Business Solutions, Inc.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It\u2019s probably one of the best shows they\u2019ve had in a while. Traffic has been heavy and we\u2019ve got some good prospects. Mike Rowe was incredible and Jim Gaffigan was hysterical. Everyone stepped up their game with Industry Night. I go to all the networking events afterward, too. They are fantastic.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014Amy Sammarino, DMW&amp;H<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The location (in C Hall) by the food was good. We have done more demos in these four days thane we probably have in the last month.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014Matt Fain, bluegrace<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It\u2019s been really busy. We had a lot of booth tours and customer meetings. We\u2019ve been able to achieve our goals. We had a lot of media come by, as well as walk-throughs. We\u2019ve made a lot of connections we\u2019ll be able to follow through with after the show, too. It\u2019s been good to connect here and start these conversations.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014Amanda Honig, Zebra<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4934\" style=\"width: 1033px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4934\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4934\" src=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MODEX-logo-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1023\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MODEX-logo-2.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MODEX-logo-2-768x425.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MODEX-logo-2-400x221.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MODEX-logo-2-440x243.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MODEX-logo-2-650x360.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MODEX-logo-2-587x325.jpg 587w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MODEX-logo-2-687x380.jpg 687w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 1023px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4934\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">30,944 material handling professionals visited MODEX.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To say MODEX 2018 was a success would be a vast understatement based on the official attendance number: 30,944.
