Automate 2013 Reaches a Record Number of Attendees
ANN ARBOR, MI--Automate 2013, North America’s leading automation event, was attended by a record 10,975 attendees from across the United States and 55 countries. The event took place Jan. 21-24 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
“Automate 2013 exceeded all of our expectations,” says Jeff Burnstein, president of the Association for Advancing Automation, the primary sponsor of Automate 2013. “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 Automate attendees do not attend any other automation related trade shows.
