If you’re in the automation industry, it’s no secret that you want to be at the right trade shows and events to expand your business. As the manufacturing industry shifts their budgets from virtual events back to in-person conferences, attending trade shows can provide your company with opportunities to grow and flourish, and connect with new strategic partners. Although the registration and workshop costs can be quite high, especially after travel is factored in, but you should view going to a trade show as an investment. A trade show is a gathering of product experts and enthusiasts under one roof in an environment that promotes business, education, innovation and networking, and so once you align the right show to your company’s market and industry, it is worth attending each year.
