The Honourable Gary Goodyear, Minister of State, Science and Technology for the Federal Economic Agency for Southern Ontario, will deliver the opening address at UBM Canon's Toronto Advanced Manufacturing Expo on May 14, 2013 at the Toronto Congress Centre. His address (which begins at 9:30 AM) will cover important topics of innovation and technology for Canada's $562 billion manufacturing economy which employs nearly 1.5 million workers.
UBM Canon's Toronto Advanced Manufacturing Expo co-locates five tradeshows to provide a comprehensive manufacturing event for visitors and exhibitors. These events include PACKEX (packaging), Plast-Ex (plastics), ATX (automation technology), PTX/PBS (powder and bulk solids process manufacturing) and Design & Manufacturing. In its most recent 2011 Toronto event, more than 900 exhibitors participated and conducted more than 30,000 face-to-face meetings with show attendees. In 2012, UBM produced a highly successful advanced manufacturing event in Montreal.
