Separate Section For Startups

The manufacturing industry believes in bringing disruptions. It is always full of new ideas and innovations which makes it an ideal breeding ground for startups. Startups are constantly in search of getting a breakthrough. They desire significant attention and events can help them with it (Silicon Valley hosts some of the most coveted events on the globe).

Product Showcasing

Product showcasing ideally makes the core of the booths. But manufacturing industry events are taking it to a newer level by encouraging exhibitors to have interactive demo sessions of groundbreaking technologies. This way, visitors can personally experience the latest developments in packaging, plastics, automation, robotics, design and processing.

Whether it’s AI apocalypse or new advances in robotics, manufacturing events are keen to address such questions which are defining the trend. This is also a good way to enhance attendee engagement. 

As a new move, events are also showcasing trends that influence careers in the manufacturing industry. This attracts manufacturing professionals across the verticals. 

The event industry is a service industry. It’s not just a market where we push products to sell them. A great event has a greater purpose. It interacts with its visitors to educate and update them. Manufacturing industry events take this practice one notch ahead where they abridge the skill gap in the industry. This purpose is evident in the ongoing trend of the booths.
