Automate 2013 reaches a record number of attendees

摘要

Automate 2013, held Jan. 21-24 at Chicago's McCormick Place, was attended by a record 10,975 attendees from across the United States and 55 countries. "Automate 2013 exceeded all of our expectations," said Jeff Burnstein, president of the Association for Advancing Automation, the primary sponsor of the show. "All of our numbers were up sharply, including total exhibitors (+17%), show attendees (+62%) and conference participants (+10%). Our post-show survey indicates that Automate is becoming the primary trade show in the field for many people, as about 50% of attendees do not attend any other automation related trade shows."
