LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - May 30, 2008) - Canon
Communications, the leading publisher, trade show producer, and digital
media company for the world's $3 trillion advanced, technology-based
manufacturing industry, today announced that it anticipates that more than
27,000 attendees and 1,400 exhibitors will participate in the East Coast's largest advanced
design and manufacturing event, on June 3-5. The combined expositions
will occupy 235,000 net square feet of exhibit space in the Javits
Convention Center.
"New York was the home of Canon's first trade show back in 1983, so we are
excited to bring this mega-event to the city," said Kevin O'Keefe, senior
vice president of Canon's events division. "Unlike other trade shows, our
co-location strategy allows Canon to bring together in one large venue
decision-makers from across industry lines with a single common denominator
-- they use advanced, technology-based manufacturing processes. At the
Javits Convention Center, they will get more of that access than anywhere
else."
O'Keefe added, "We are particularly proud of the introduction this year of
the new Green
Manufacturing Expo and the concurrent Green Manufacturing Conference,
which will bring together more than 200 exhibiting companies in categories
ranging from biomaterials to wind power components and systems. The green
manufacturing concept is an important element in advanced, technology-based
manufacturing, and Canon is the only trade show company to address it with
at this depth."
In addition to the Green Manufacturing Expo, the other six co-located shows
are:
-- ATX (Automation Technology Expo) East, Automation Solutions for the East
Coast's Manufacturing Markets
-- MD&M (Medical Design &
Manufacturing) East, the East Coast's Largest Event for Medical Design
and Manufacturing
--
PLASTEC East, The Trade Show for the East Coast's Plastics Industry
-- Atlantic
Design & Manufacturing, The East Coast's Premier Event for Design and
Manufacturing
--
EastPack, The East Coast's Largest Packaging Event
