The North American Material Handling and Logistics Show of 2010 (NA2010) took place from April 26-29th in Cleveland, Ohio. Bob happily had the chance to attend (no pesky volcanic ash to disrupt travels this time!)
April 27th was a cold, clear day in Cleveland, and Bob entered NA2010 along with what he considered a surprisingly steady stream of people. The show provided lots of opportunity for mingling and networking, and he was able to connect with many vendors, new and old.
On Friday, as newspaper headlines read “Europe Faces More Air Travel Chaos” and “Flight Disruptions in Europe Get Even Worse,” Bob and Ron found themselves grounded in Richmond. Southern Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH’-plah-yer-kuh-duhl) glacier began erupting for the second time in a month on Wednesday, sending ash several miles into the air. Winds pushed the ash south and east across Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia, and into the heart of Europe. Millions of people have been affected; Bob and Ron, itching to get to the Hanover Fair, were among them. Maybe next year…
Later this week, Bob Giberson and Ron Turkaly will travel to Germany to attend the Hanover Fair, the largest industrial tradeshow in the world! Hanover Fair presents the broadest range of new industrial technologies anywhere in the world. Bob and Ron will have the opportunity to learn about the latest innovations in automation, electrical engineering, robotics, energy-efficient solutions, and much more.
Stay tuned for blog updates from Bob, as well as his Tweets, live from Germany; share in the adventure, and be sure to let Bob know if there are specific applications you’d like him to investigate while at the show!
