Exhibitors and attendees alike contributed to the energy and quality of attendance on the show floor, with robust networking and connections flowing over the course of the three days. Topics that were top-of-mind included automation, labor shortages, and the current challenges with supply chain issues.
“When the show doors opened up, it was so exciting the see the reconnection of supplier and customer,” stated Tom Morrison, FNA show producer. “FNA is a big success because of a lot of people, including the Metal Treating Institute volunteers, sponsors, and management, who put their heart and soul into delivering a world class event. It was exciting to see that hard work payoff this week.”
FNA Show Management announced it will host FNA 2024 in Columbus, OH on October 14-16 at the Columbus Convention Center with the Hilton Columbus serving as the host hotel.
