Trade Show and Events Schedule 2007

Automation Fair 2007 Chicago, Illinois It was difficult to get near the Festo booth at the recent Automation Fair held in Chicago, Illinois, in November. As always, the customer presence at this show was outstanding. The Race Car Simulator at the Festo booth drew a lot of attention (read article in Design World magazine about this simulator.) According to Rockwell Automation, “At this year's event we hosted 7,198 customers and had 13,581 total attendees.  This was the highest total attendance over the past 10 years, excluding our 3-day show in Milwaukee in 2003.” For information about upcoming trade shows for 2008, please contact our Exhibit Coordinator exhibit.coordinator@us.festo.com or check for updates on our website at www.festo.com/us/exhibitions
