Gardner Business Media has announced that the results of their annual Top Shops Benchmarking Survey will be presented and analyzed in full at the inaugural Top Shops Expo, taking place October 13th-14th at the Duke Energy Convention Center in Cincinnati, OH.
Founded in 2010, the Top Shops Benchmarking Survey is conducted by Gardner Business Media’s Intelligence division and is distributed to thousands of North American manufacturers. The survey’s data, which spans everything from lead times to workforce development, is used as a business intelligence, business development and business improvement tool by thousands of contract manufacturers across the country.
This exclusive data will first be available to attendees and exhibitors at the Top Shops Expo. This data will be explained and examined by experts across four education tracks presented by four different Gardner Business Media Brands – Modern Machine Shop, Plastics Technology, CompostesWorld, and Products Finishing. This is the first time all four brands will be presented together, and the first time Plastics Technology and CompositesWorld data will be shared publicly. Leading shops and businesses from around the country will also present sessions based on the findings of this report, giving attendees a unique and informed perspective from industry leaders.
Top Shops Expo registration will also include access to:
- Technology Displays: Innovative product and process technology vendors of machinery, software, materials and more
- Sourcing Pavilion: Leading contract manufacturing companies displaying production and service capabilities from product design and prototyping to scale production to post-processing and finishing
- Awards + Networking: Annual Top Shops awards program and a range of business networking events
Attendees who work in CNC Machining, Plastics Processing, Composites Fabrication and Products Finishing are expected to attend, exhibit, and network at the event.
Additional event details including technical programming and special events will be announced soon on TopShopsExpo.com and through all Gardner Business Media industrial brands.
