One of the best parts of MODEX isn’t just the technology, but the people you run into, the conversations that happen between sessions, and the chance to talk shop with others who deal with the same challenges you do. The show creates a ton of natural touchpoints to meet new people and reconnect with familiar faces.
Where Networking Actually Happens:
On the show floor: Most conversations start casually like at a demo you’re both watching, in line for coffee, or while comparing notes on a new system.
In the lounges and common areas: MODEX sets up several open spaces where people naturally gather to rest, eat, or catch up. These areas make it easy to strike up small talk without feeling forced. MODEX sets up the MODEX Backyard and Peachtree Social spaces that are dedicated to informal meetups and quick conversations.
During educational sessions: Sitting next to someone who came for the same topic usually leads to quick introductions.
At MHI Industry Night: This is the most social part of the week. Once the formal agenda ends, the conversations feel a little easier and less structured.
Simple Ways to Make the Most of It:
Say hello more than you think you need to. MODEX is full of people who are attending alone, checking out solutions, and looking to learn. A quick “What brings you here?” goes a long way.
Use the app to connect intentionally. The event app makes it easy to find companies or people you want to meet, and reaching out ahead of time breaks the ice.
Take breaks intentionally. Sometimes the best conversations happen when you step away from the chaos while grabbing coffee, finding a quiet seating area, or waiting between sessions.
Set follow-up meetings at the show. Instead of sending the generic “Great chatting at MODEX—here’s the thing we talked about” email like everybody else does, lock in a placeholder meeting right there on the show floor. That way, your prospect doesn’t have to remember who you are once they’re back at the office and buried in inbox chaos.
Why It’s Worth It
The real value of networking at MODEX isn’t collecting business cards but rather hearing what’s working for others, swapping ideas, and understanding how teams are tackling challenges like yours. You’ll walk away with insights that don’t show up in product brochures or keynote slides.
Pro Tip #1:
Define your goal. And it should not be to simply learn more about a technology, as you can do that on a live operating site. Consider whether you goal is one of the following:
Tje event will, of course, give you an opportunity to walk booths and see what is “new,” or listen to a presentation from an industry peer. But the real value is the opportunity to further develop relationships with people facing the same challenges as you. Therefore, my suggestion:
The value of the event is having thousands of industry peers in the same location for three days. Your goal is to spend those 16 hours in discussions that can change the trajectory of your career and your company.

Based on what gained momentum in 2024 and where the industry is still heading, expect these themes to be front and center at MODEX 2026:
AI + machine learning in WMS/OMS and inventory optimization (smarter forecasting, slotting, and decisioning)
Vision-based robotics and smarter AMRs/AGVs with improved perception and navigation
Collaborative automation with tighter human-safety integration
IoT + sensor networks, digital twins, and predictive maintenance to reduce downtime
Scalable automation for mid-size operations, not just mega warehouses
Edge computing and real-time analytics happening directly on the warehouse floor
Sustainability and circular logistics, including packaging reduction (enabled by intelligent cartonization) and energy savings
End-to-end integration across the supply chain, connecting fulfillment, transportation, and last-mile execution
Exhibitors will likely push incremental innovations (better software, modular add-ons) rather than paradigm shifts, so differentiation (i.e. reliability, support, interoperability) will matter more than buzz.
Before You Arrive:
Register early: MODEX registration is free for most attendees, but you should sign up early to secure session spots and receive event updates. There are student and group registration options also available.
Book hotels early: Hotels near downtown Atlanta, Midtown, or along the MARTA line fill up quickly. Staying close to the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) or near a shuttle route saves time.
Plan your show schedule: Review the exhibitor directory and floor plan in advance to prioritize booths and education sessions that match your interests.
Pre-book meetings: Many vendors’ calendars fill quickly. Reach out ahead of time to schedule product demos or customer introductions.
Budget for extras: Plan for rideshares, meals, and networking events like MHI Industry Night or after-hours receptions.
Use free technology evaluation tools: Several technology providers offer interactive evaluation tools and cost justification calculators to see whether a certain technology is a good fit for your operation. Kardex offers a few tools for evaluating various automated storage and retrieval systems:
AutoStore (Try StoreX Calculator)
During the Show
Prioritize live demos & hands-on exhibits: Seeing equipment and software in action is one of MODEX’s biggest advantages over online research.
Attend keynotes & education sessions: These offer insights into emerging supply chain trends, AI applications, and industry best practices.
Network strategically: Spend time in lounges, receptions, and common areas as I’ve seen many valuable connections happen off the show floor.
Take notes and scan badges: Capture key conversations and contacts to make post-show follow-up easier.
Use Thursday morning wisely: It’s a shorter day, and some exhibitors begin teardown early, so make sure to visit any missed booths before noon.
Pro Tips for Navigating the Floor
Download the MODEX app: Use the MODEX app to access the map, schedule, and real-time notifications for key sessions.
Group exhibitors by category: Focus your time wisely. For example, dedicate one morning to robotics and another to warehouse software.
Be prepared: Comfortable shoes, a portable charger, and business cards go a long way.
Take quick photos: Snap booth signage or product displays so you can recall details later when following up with vendors.
Before the Show
Finalize your booth early: Interactive displays and live demos attract far more traffic than static setups.
Ship materials in advance: Use the GWCC advance warehouse option to avoid delays or onsite fees.
Promote your presence: Engage with the event through social media to stay updated, connect with industry peers, and share your experiences. When posting about your booth and presence at the show, make sure to use the hashtag #MODEX2026 to get more relevant visibility! P.S. We’ll be sharing updates before, during, and after MODEX, so connect with Kardex on LinkedIn to stay up to date.
Schedule key meetings: Confirm times with top customers, prospects, and media contacts before arriving, and make sure that with all the activity on the show floor, you don’t lose track of time and miss your meetings.
Prep lead tools and giveaways: Test scanners and apps beforehand to make sure that it’s ready to use when a true lead comes to your booth.
Make dinner reservations early. If you’re planning on wining and dining any prospects or current customers, it’s important that you have dinner reservations because many of the popular restaurants nearby will be booked out. I like to reserve 2-3 a month or so in advance and then narrow it down to 1 reservation as the show approaches.
During the Show
Run demos throughout the day: Consistent activity draws attention (even short demonstrations keep your booth lively). It’s important to make sure that any demos you run are “show-ready”...if people see that your demo isn’t working and there are several engineers trying to get it up and running, it will deter people from starting a conversation with you.
Rotate your team: Keep staff fresh and energetic; assign clear roles for greeting, demos, and lead capture.
Engage online: Post photos, tag #MODEX2026, and share booth highlights to increase visibility beyond the show floor.
Attend relevant sessions: Educational talks can spark partnership ideas and give your sales team talking points.
Measure engagement: Track booth traffic, scans, and demo sign-ups daily to gauge ROI in real time.
After the Show
Follow up quickly: In addition to the placeholder meeting that you should have set up on the show floor, send thank-you emails and resources within one week while conversations are still fresh.
Share highlights: Recap your MODEX experience on your company’s blog or social channels to extend visibility.
Debrief internally: Review booth performance, logistics, and lead quality to plan improvements for future shows.

| Item | Estimate Range |
|---|---|
| Registration | Free — includes exhibit hall access, keynotes, and on-floor education sessions. Industry Night requires a separate paid ticket. |
| Travel | Expect to pay anywhere from $400 - $800 depending on your flight |
| Hotel | Downtown and Midtown hotels fill quickly during MODEX. Booking early helps secure reasonable rates and locations near GWCC or MARTA. Hotels usually cost between $150 - $300 per night. |
| Local Transportation | Attendees can use the conference shuttles, MARTA, rideshares, or can walk if staying nearby. |
| Meals | Food options around GWCC range from quick grab-and-go to sit-down restaurants; prices vary but expect typical downtown pricing. |
| Daily Budget Estimate | Plan for $100–$200 per person, per day to cover meals, local transportation, snacks, and incidental expenses. |
Most shuttles drop attendees off near Hall C, which is the best place to start your day because the main registration area is located in this section. Once you check in, Hall C naturally becomes the most intuitive entry point to the show.
When you enter Hall C from registration, you’ll notice the aisle numbers increase from right to left:
This right-to-left numbering pattern is the same in Halls A, B, and C.
Halls B and C connect seamlessly, creating one large continuous show floor. Hall A, however, is more tucked away. Although it looks connected on the map, reaching Hall A requires taking the stairs up to the skybridge that links it to the rest of the show. Because Hall A is harder to access, it typically opens earlier (9:00 AM) than Halls B and C.
Each hall is labeled by letter (A, B, C), and all booth numbers begin with that same letter—making it easy to confirm which hall you’re standing in. A helpful point of reference: as you move deeper into any hall and away from registration, booth numbers decrease.
Here’s a link to the full floorplan where you can view the hall layouts and see where exhibitor booths are located.
Make sure you download the MODEX 2026 app prior to the show to start planning your activities each day. Within the app, you can build your schedule of booth visits, keynotes, seminars, and 1:1 meetings to make sure that you don’t miss anything. The app also includes an interactive floor map to make it easier to find specific booths and theatres, so you don’t miss your educational sessions!
We all know that these conferences consist of long days filled with walking and standing. Come prepared with comfortable shoes, gel inserts, band-aids (in case of blisters on your heels), aspirin or ibuprofen, and anything that you may need to be comfortable. They usually like to keep the convention center cold, so bring a pullover or sweater to ensure you don’t freeze!
Battery pack: Instead of bringing a phone charger that you have to plug into the wall, bring a fully-charged battery pack that you can plug your phone into if your battery dies.
Snacks / water: There are snacks and water located throughout the convention center, but it’s always best and most convenient if you pack some peanuts or granola bar along with some water in your backpack.
Business (e) cards: Many people are utilizing e-business cards which is very convenient and you don’t have to carry around a stack of business cards, BUT if everyone else provides business cards to the prospect and you’re the only one to provide an e-business card, you may be left out of consideration. It’s best to supply both a physical business card and an e-business card.
With the influx of people into the Atlanta area during this time and in such close proximity, dinner reservations will book quickly, especially the nice steak houses. If you are considering winning and dining any prospects or your team, make a few reservations at a handful of places now. Then, when you narrow down your selection, cancel your other reservations. This way, you at least have options once you get a better head count.
To make sure that you speak to people or businesses that you want, reach out to them beforehand to schedule some 1:1 time. This way, you’re not stuck in a group presentation when you have specific application, integration, use-case questions. Of course, if you cannot schedule ahead, there’s no need to worry - impromptu visits are always appreciated and welcomed by exhibitors.

The go-to rideshares are Uber and Lyft. Getting a rideshare from the airport to your hotel or convention center is pretty simple – inside the airport, there should be signs directing you to the rideshare pick-up zone. There are also designated pickup and drop-off zones at the convention center, which will be clearly marked near the main entrances.
Rideshares use dynamic pricing that fluctuates with demand, while taxis follow regulated metered or flat rates, offering more consistent fares even during peak hours.
For quick, no-surge options, several local taxi companies service the area:
Checker Cab Company: (404) 351-1111
Yellow Cab of Atlanta: (404) 688-8454
Buckhead Safety Cab: (404) 875-3777
City Wide Taxi: (404) 305-9075
Pro Tip: During peak traffic hours (7:30–9:00 AM and 4:30–6:30 PM), schedule rides in advance or use a local cab to avoid surge pricing.
Atlanta’s public transportation system is called the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), and it makes it super easy (and cheap!) to get around the city without a car. MARTA operates both rail and bus lines that can take you from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to downtown, midtown, or basically anywhere else you want to go.
If you’re flying into Atlanta, you can hop directly onto MARTA from the airport station, located inside the terminal near baggage claim. From there, it’s roughly a 20-minute trip to the convention center and nearby hotels.
To get to the Georgia World Congress Center, you can take either the Blue or Green lines which run directly to the Georgia World Congress Center. Depending which hall you want to get to, you should choose the Dome/GWCC stop for Halls B and C and choose Vine City for Hall A.
Many MODEX show hotels are located within a 5–10-minute walk of the convention center. The area around Centennial Olympic Park and Marietta Street is pedestrian-friendly, with sidewalks, crosswalks, and plenty of restaurants and coffee spots along the way. If you’re staying nearby, walking is often the quickest way to get to the convention center, especially during peak shuttle or traffic times.
If you’re driving to MODEX, there are several parking decks and lots around the convention center. The most convenient are:
Red Deck: Closest to the Buildings C and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Yellow Deck: Ideal for Buildings A & B
Gold Deck: Near the CNN Center and State Farm Arena
Parking rates typically range from $15-$25 per day, and some spaces can be reserved in advance through the GCWW parking portal.
Rosie’s Coffee Café: Great for a casual start with coffee, breakfast sandwiches, light fare.
Glenn's Kitchen: Located in The Glenn Hotel just east of the GWCC. Offers full breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a cozy, local atmosphere.
Social Table / Southern Roots (within GWCC complex): These are on-site eateries in the convention center footprint. Good fallback options when you want something convenient.
New South Kitchen: Contemporary Southern cuisine, mid-priced, good for a lively lunch near the center.
Park Bar: A casual pub-style atmosphere with burgers, sandwiches, and salads. Ideal if you want something tasty and not formal.
Alma Cocina: More upscale Latin American-inspired menu that’s great for groups that want a “sit-down but quick” lunch.
Ray’s in the City: A reliable choice for seafood and upscale dining that works well for prospect or client dinners. It’s about a 10-minute walk from the convention center.
Capolinea: Italian fine dining with good reputation, near the downtown / arena district.
Ruth’s Chris Steak House (Centennial Park location): While part of a steakhouse chain, this location is locally anchored and often featured in local guides for upscale dining near the center.
The Sun Dial Restaurant, Bar & View: Offers a full experience with really cool views of the Atlanta skyline.
Thrive Restaurant + Bar: Located just a few blocks from the convention center, you can typically get $5 craft cocktails and wine, $3–$4 beers, and shareable bites like sliders and flatbreads. The vibe is modern but relaxed — great for winding down after the show with colleagues.
Der Biergarten: A local favorite, this German-style beer garden offers an excellent beer list, large pretzels, and sausage plates in a casual, communal setting. Prices drop during weekday happy hours, and the outdoor patio atmosphere makes it ideal for post-event groups.
SkyLounge at The Glenn: Perched on top of The Glenn Hotel, SkyLounge has some of the best skyline views in downtown Atlanta. They offer $6–$8 happy hour cocktails and light bites. It’s quieter than most downtown bars, which is perfect if you want conversation-friendly happy hour drinks with a view.
McCormick & Schmick’s (Centennial Park District): Though a national brand, this downtown location leans local in crowd and energy. Their happy hour menu features $5–$6 small plates and discounted drinks, making it a convenient upscale stop if you’re staying near Centennial Park or CNN Center.
Elliott Street Deli & Pub (Castleberry Hill): Total hole-in-the-wall. Nothing fancy at all, but they do live jazz and blues downstairs, and it feels super local. Good option if you want something low-key and real.
Red Phone Booth (Downtown): More of a speakeasy vibe. Dark, good cocktails, sometimes jazz. You need a password to get in, but your hotel can usually give it to you. It’s cool if you want somewhere quieter to end the night.

The Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia
I’m estimating attendance will be up about 20–25% compared to 2024 (roughly 48,000), so we’re likely looking at around 60,000 attendees in 2026.
Roughly 1,000 exhibitors.
As an attendee who is flying into Atlanta, expect to pay at least $1,200 when you consider the flight, hotels, food, and transportation around the city.
MODEX is helpful for people working in warehousing, fulfillment, supply chain, or manufacturing who want to see new technology, compare solutions, or learn from educational sessions. It’s also useful for those interested in networking, exploring career opportunities, or finding business partners. If your work isn’t connected to these areas, the show may not feel as relevant.
Exhibiting makes sense for companies that offer products or services used in warehouse, logistics, or manufacturing operations — like automation, robotics, software, or material handling equipment. It’s a good fit if you want to meet buyers, partners, or industry peers. If your business doesn’t support these environments, exhibiting may not be a strong match.
