This month, we bring you articles and interviews with show organizers, committee leaders, and instructors. We even have one article designed to help you justify to your manager why you need to attend this show.
And once you’re on the show floor, stop by and chat with us. We’ll be manning our state-of-the-art I-Connect007 booth throughout the week. Editors and guest editors will be conducting scores of Real Time with… I-Connect007 video interviews with the industry’s top engineers, managers, and executives.
