With over 7,000 industry professionals from 48 states and 41 countries reg- istered to attend, the show also saw a 5 percent increase in registrations over 2015. The exhibitors responded enthusiastically with over 70 percent renewing booth space on-site for next year’s show, which will take place in the same venue October 24-26, 2017. “When we launched The
ASSEM BLY Show four years ago we were committed to providing the attendees an interactive show floor where they could see working machin-
ery offering solutions.
