Fastener Fair USA ready for debut
Are you ready for the 1st edition of Fastener Fair USA?
Fastener Fair USA is the premier event bringing together manufacturers, distributors, suppliers and end users in the region’s only dedicated fastener, fixing, and joining technology exhibition. The show, taking place April 11-12, 2018 at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, OH, will offer a first-hand look at the latest solutions and technology available in the marketplace, as well as a top-notch educational program developed and delivered by industry experts. There will also be networking events to facilitate relationships and collaborations with industry peers.
“The idea to bring Fastener Fair to the U.S. market originated within the fastener industry” said Melissa Magestro, Executive Vice President of Mack Brook Exhibitions, Inc. “There is an increased need to find new technologies and suppliers in the U.S., and fastener OEMs and distributors are looking for a platform to showcase their solutions. We are bringing the Fastener Fair experience to the heart of the Midwest manufacturing region. When some of our exhibitors approached us and said there was a need in the U.S. for an exhibition that connects the whole industry, we got to work identifying a home base for the first event. Cleveland is a natural fit – lots of manufacturing in Ohio and neighboring states, close to headquarter offices of our exhibitors, centrally located and easy to get to. Plus, it is home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the perfect location to hold our welcome reception on the first night of the show!"
There will be 16 educational sessions during the show: fastener professionals will have a unique opportunity to get the latest industry information, forecasts, and technical education with keynote sessions and breakouts at the inaugural Fastener Fair USA. Show management has put together a strong line-up of educational sessions for professionals in the entire fastener supply chain, with unique sessions for specific industries and experience levels. The educational sessions will be led by experts from a variety of backgrounds and will cover topics on maintenance and repair, aerospace applications, growing your distribution business, managing data, fastener basics for newcomers to the industry, marketing, leadership, and much more.
"With the line-up of industry experts for our opening keynote panel and the depth and variety of educational sessions for the entire supply chain, fastener professionals can’t afford to miss the show,” said Jessica Boweak, Exhibition Manager for Fastener Fair USA. “Visitors will have access to unique information that they can take back and implement immediately in their workplace.”
The educational sessions at Fastener Fair USA, including the two workshops offered by Fastener Training Institute the day before the show are open to all exhibitors and attendees.
