ProMatDX Keynote Speakers

ProMatDX, the industry’s premier digital supply chain experience, will include over 100 education and four keynote sessions from leading experts in the supply chain and material handling industry to give attendees the latest information on manufacturing and supply chain trends, technologies and innovations. ProMatDX will be held April 12-16 at promatshow.com.

After consultation with the MHI Board of Governors, MHI made the decision to cancel its in-person ProMat event in Chicago in April of 2021.

John Paxton, CEO, MHI

The MHI Board determined that due to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic and the current state and local regulations, it was not possible to hold a live event for attendees and exhibitors. This will be the first time in ProMat’s 35-year history that the in-person expo has been cancelled.

However, because supply chains are more vital to global commerce than ever before, ProMat will continue to deliver the unrivaled solution-sourcing, education and networking it is known for through a state-of-the-art digital expo—ProMat Digital Experience (ProMatDX).
