Breaking Records and Building Connections
The industry came together last week at Chicago’s McCormick Place for a record-breaking ProMat Exhibition. According to show producer MHI, this was its largest event to date with 52,223 attendees and 1,160 exhibitors.
The MHEDA team had an incredible time connecting with members and welcoming hundreds of new faces throughout the week at the MHEDA booth lounge, which was conveniently located next to registration. With over 350 visitors stopping by, our booth was buzzing with energy as we engaged in meaningful conversations and shared insights about our 2025 initiatives.
The excitement carried into the evening on March 18th at the MHEDA Networking Reception, proudly sponsored by Gebhardt Intralogistics Group. With hundreds of industry leaders in attendance, the event provided a fantastic opportunity to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and toast to new opportunities. We sincerely appreciate everyone who joined us and contributed to making the evening such a great success!
MHEDA is a proud supporter and participant of ProMat’s Student Day! This year we welcomed over 400 high school and university students, offering an exciting introduction to career opportunities in material handling, supply chain, and logistics. The event featured hands-on learning experiences and valuable networking with industry professionals. This year combined an interactive educational session with an engaging guided tour of the ProMat expo that included a visit to the MHEDA booth lounge.
A huge thank you to MHI for putting together a world-class event with cutting-edge solutions, educational insights and exceptional networking opportunities that are essential for success as the industry evolves.
