UPDATE 03/13/20: Sadly, due to the Corona Covid-19 Virus Siemens had to cancel the show (most USA trade shows and sporting events scheduled for Mid-March to Mid-April have also been canceled.) Here’s looking forward to next year…
This year will be my first time attending the Manufacturing In America event sponsored by Siemens and Electro-Matic.
It’s being held at Ford Field in Detroit on March 25 and 26, and features over 100 technical learning seminars and 50 exhibits focused on emerging automation, controls and drives technology.
As you might have guessed if you’ve read my previous articles, I’m naturally drawn to what’s new sessions, which as you can see below makes up a lot of what’s on my schedule for this year’s show.
