The show is the work of Tony Robinson, the founder of Industrial Vehicle Technology International magazine (now published separately by Mark Allen Group), who says, “With more than a quarter of a century of experience running shows across the world (our current portfolio includes China, India, Europe and of course the USA), one thing I have learned is Bring the Show to the Market – hence the decision to come to Chicago. The other big differentiator is that we put on specialist design and engineering events specifically for the design and engineering community. It’s about coming to an event created specifically for finding technology solutions, supply chain partners and new concepts. There will be no OEM vehicle exhibits, only Tier 1, 2 and 3 suppliers. No huge complexity, just 200-250 exhibitors that visitors can get round in a day then return to their offices full of new possibilities.
