2014
Demonstrating our Future
North America’s largest metalforming, fabricating, welding and finishing event lands in Atlanta, November 11-13, at the beautiful Georgia World Congress Center. More than 1400 exhibitors occupying in excess of 500,000 sq. ft. of space will welcome some 27,000 attendees.
The ATL was once referred to as the “Chicago of the South,” for its “new men, new industries, new buildings and new spirit.” That refer- ence will ring true come November when the future of the metalforming industry is on display at FABTECH 2014.
Atlanta rose from the ashes follow- ing its destruction during the Civil War to become a mecca of the New South. Amongst the city’s gleaming glass and steel towers you’ll find the 3.9-million- sq.-ft. Georgia World Congress Center, home of FABTECH 2014. With more
than 13,000 hotel rooms within walking distance and more than 94,000 hotel rooms in the metro area, along with plenty of fine dining amongst thou- sands of restaurants, you’d be hard- pressed to find a better venue to house our industry’s leading tradeshow.
So get ready for some great south- ern hospitality, beginning with a “How y’all doing” greeting at the show entrance, pack your walking shoes and prepare to be wowed with all of the new technology and knowledge ready for your consumption.
