KNOWLEDGE BAR FORMAT
Located on the exhibition floor, Knowledge Bars, are a great opportunity for companies to present and interact with potential customers.
Presentations will allow conference and exhibition visitors an opportunity to learn about the latest trends and innovations and hear about
ground-breaking solutions from industry leaders and exhibitors.
The Knowledge Bar format is an intimate and interactive way for individuals to present to a smaller audience. Each accepted presenter will be
given a 30-minute time slot for a 20-minute presentation and 10-minute Q&A. Presenters will be provided a monitor for visuals along with the
opportunity to bring hands-on items to supplement your presentation.

WHO SHOULD SUBMIT
We encourage all companies in the manufacturing realm who have an interesting new technology or process to submit an expression of
interest in presenting. Presentations should be based on case studies and describe how to solve a specific problem rather than be used as a
pure sales pitch.
