ProMat 2009, Largest on Record Despite Sluggish Economy
ProMat 2009, which opened on January 12th, hosts record number of exhibitors and attendees. "It is particularly exciting to note that in spite of the current economic uncertainty, this is the largest edition of ProMat ever," said GeorgePrest, director of business development for Unarco Material Handling and chairman of Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA). "This speaks to the commitment and strength of this industry - when you stop to think about our role in the economy…you realize that virtually nothing in commerce can happen without at least one of the nearly 800 exhibiting companies and their industry segment represented at this show."

Best Practice for Meeting Planners
Meeting planners from smaller markets can learn about cost-effective events using the Forgotten Buffalo example from Facebook.
When a Western New York manufacturer wanted to do something different for their 2009 North American Marketing Meeting, they contacted a Facebook networking group called "Forgotten Buffalo." Instead of the usual corporate dinner, employees as far away as Vancouver and California spent an evening "eating, drinking, learning and laughing" Buffalo history. The outing was part of Forgotten Buffalo's private tour initiative that provides tailored "Buffalo immersion" tours to groups up to 55 people. On a night with temperatures near 10 degrees, the guests learned about the city's colorful past, viewed prime examples of famous architecture, feasted on traditional Buffalo cuisine (Genesee Beer, Beef-on-Weck with Broadway Market Horseradish, chicken wings and Bocce Club Pizza), and danced the polka in a family-owned tavern. To learn more about Buffalo's private tour program, contact Forgotten Buffalo.
