More than 100 products from 76 companies will be spotlighted in a special display in the New Products Showcase at GIE+EXPO, October 19-21. Manufacturers’ newest items will be displayed in this sold-out feature. In order to qualify for the Showcase, products have been introduced within the past year. Some will have their unveiling during the show.
“Exhibitors know GIE+EXPO is the where the industry goes to see the latest and greatest innovations and they’re ready to deliver,” said Warren Sellers, show director. “Not only have we maxed out space in the New Products Showcase, we’ve increased indoor exhibit space by 80,000 square feet and added an acre outdoors to provide 20 acres for test driving the new equipment.”
Many attendees start their tour of the show floor with a visit to the New Products Showcase. After reviewing the latest innovations there, they can plan a strategy for visiting the indoor exhibits, talking with manufacturers and getting hands-on in the adjacent Outdoor Demonstration Area.
In addition to the Showcase, new products will be introduced during more than 30 press conferences scheduled during the three days of the show.
