The 2021 edition of the Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show reflected the ongoing pandemic circumstances in every way. While the organizers took the bold step to bring it back in-person, they also offered people the option to attend it virtually.
Manufacturing AUTOMATION was present to capture the action on the show floor.
Held at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ont., from Oct. 4 to 7, the show was effective, productive and successful in its own way. In-person attendees masked up, armed themselves with their vaccination receipts and photo IDs and arrived at the show, all ready to network. Exhibitors held meaningful conversations with potential customers on all four days.
Although masks hid the smiles of attendees and exhibitors alike, the show floor continuously buzzed with the excitement of being able to reconnect after a tough few months. The show size and attendee turnout were by no means close to what CMTS has seen in its pre-COVID editions. However, the show saw people who were serious about attending and were there with a purpose. Exhibitors shared that they were able to get solid leads and were really glad to be there.
