2024 Networking Summit Recap: Charlotte, NC

A successful Networking Summit for MHEDA took place in Charlotte, North Carolina. Thank you to over 75 MHEDA Members who were able to join us, and a very special thank you to Carolina Handling LLC for hosting and sponsoring us at their facility. From February 12th-13th, we had a great time connecting and networking while gaining valuable insight into the industry. 

Tuesday consisted of Carolina Handling LLC hosting attendees, educational speakers, and an exciting tour of their Charlotte facility. In between presentations and networking, attendees were invited to participate in round table discussions regarding the economy, cybersecurity, and more of MHEDA’s 2024 Material Handling Business Trends. We would like to extend our gratitude to our roundtable host and 2024 MHEDA Board Treasurer Jim MacGregor, Vice President of Operations at Toyota Material Handling Systems, and to those who presented.
