Modern: How long has ProMat been around? Carbott: 2015 was the 30th anniversary of ProMat, which was rolled out in 1985. Before that, it was the National Material Handling Show. Modern: And, how long have you been attending? Carbott: From the beginning. I joined the materials handling industry in a sales position in Charlotte in 1979. Part of my job description was to attend a Hoist Manufacturers Association meeting in Pittsburgh. Modern: Let's do some numbers. How big is this year's show? How many exhibitors? Carbott: The show has been sold out since last July, and we have a waiting list of exhibitors. All told, the net square footage will be 415,000 square feet, and we're looking at about 930 exhibitors. The Automate show is not included in those numbers.
