As was the case for the 2007 and 2009 shows, numerous trade associations and industry publications from around the world and different segments of the fastener industry will be involved in organising, promoting and executing FASTENER TECH&#x2122; 2011. The most recent FASTENER TECH&#x2122; was held in June 2009 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont (Chicago),

IL, USA, and it provided its visitors with direct supplier access, networking opportunities, business intelligence, social programming and technical education related to making, distributing and using all types of mechanical fasteners - including nuts, bolts, screws, rivets, rings, clips, washers and nails. An online survey of 2009 exhibitors yielded the following results: Considering the total costs and efforts involved in exhibiting

In addition, 88% liked the &#x201C;All-Fastener-Industry&#x201D; focus of the show, 94% liked the exhibit location and the turn-key pricing for exhibit space, and 82% of exhibitors would recommend FASTENER TECH&#x2122; to other fastener industry professionals.
