It's great attending live events again after the COVID years and you could hardly turn a corner without running into somebody, you know.

We really enjoyed the advanced manufacturing expo this year. We got a lot of really good leads. The jet pack demonstration was awesome. My little niece and nephew just loved that, um, booth set up was very easy and it was a little bit slow on Friday and a little bit cumbersome with the construction out front. But even with those things being said, each day, both Thursday and Friday, we got really good leads and we will definitely be attending next year as well.

Great event! Looking forward to next year's.
What did you like best about the event?
It was easy to navigate (the spacing was good) and there were seating areas to have additional follow-up conversations or to get your laptop out if needed. The high-top tables throughout the space were also nice to be able to have conversations or stop and set your bag down, etc.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Perhaps a few more seating options out in the hallway for smaller conversations.

This was my first time attending the show and I was surprised by the lack of traffic at the event. The vendors were out in full force, but the customer portion seemed lacking.
What did you like best about the event?
Walking distance to the hotel. Did have a few solid customer engagements at our booth.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Improve the lunch quality (food wise); provide free coffee/soda/water for vendors; place higher chairs in booths to be used with the higher tables.

Great show. Well attended. Great atmosphere.
What did you like best about the event?
There were more attendees than last year and people were sincerely looking for things.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Better food offerings although box lunches were great. Check-in was smooth but I would recommend larger font for nametags.

This was a good regional event that seemed to draw from western Michigan and Indiana, with a few attendees from Ohio.
What did you like best about the event?
Good venue, easy in and out, plenty of parking. Lots of space in the event hall. A good turnout of vendors.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Friday was pretty dead. Maybe a Wednesday or Thursday event would be better. Hotels seemed a little expensive near the Davos center considering its Grand Rapids.

Lots of solutions for industrial automation problems.
What did you like best about the event?
Event organizers clearly understand what it's like to exhibit and made life easy for us. The website had all the information about the schedule. Shipping and other requirements were well communicated. Registration was fast and easy with enough terminals for the crowd.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Perhaps ask exhibitors to have some online content that could be released during the event for those that want to attend, but were unable. Videos on showcased products, flyers, or interactive online content.

We had a 10 x 10 booth at the expo. This may not be the best fit for our business.
What did you like best about the event?
Well organized. Some good companies exhibiting, lots of education opportunities.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
I did not like that there were educational events all day - it would be nice if there were times to have the show floor open, then a few hours for presentations that would allow the show floor to close to allow the exhibitors to attend the presentations. Also, the presentations we attended could have been better.

Zero foot traffic, Not one prospect or lead. Was able to see a couple of customers. For me, this was a waste of money.
What did you like best about the event?
Open floor, lots of room. Parking is good. Plenty of exhibitors. Registration was easy and separated from the main entrance.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Not sure. My understanding was there was plenty of advertisement. I think people who walk the floor should be interested in the trades and not walk around to pick up giveaways.

The networking and leads obtained were great and the attendance was impressive as well.
What did you like best about the event?
The booth setup was easy, the event was close to home, and the amount of vendors in attendance was impressive.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Friday was a bit slow and I feel as though the event could have ended around lunchtime instead of in the afternoon.
Did you have a favourite speaker or session? Please tell us below
I was in our booth and unable to attend the speaker sessions

Great place to network with industry partners.
What did you like best about the event?
It was a great place to catch up with colleagues from other companies and talk with the competition.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
More promotion to manufacturers in the region. The number of attendees was disappointing. Spent more time talking to other vendors and didn’t see as many attendees as expected.
