Day one of NIFMSE, 2016 revealed a busy show floor with a 24% increase in total attendance, YOY.
This was evident at the Matchmaking Desk, a new component of NIFMSE, which experienced busy traffic throughout the day. Our friendly staff helped match attendees with exhibitors on the show floor and for those of you who will be joining us on the second day of the show, please stop by for assistance.
Reminder: our free educational sessions will continue on day two, so please make sure to stop by the Sessions Corner on the show floor, or consult the show directory for more information and a detailed schedule of today’s track.
We were thrilled to welcome Mr. Bruce Wheeler of Star Stainless Screw Co. to the time-honored Hall of Fame, while the first-ever Young Fastener Professional Award went to Mr. Ryan Kertis of Stelfast Inc.
The popular welcome reception took place at Treasure Island, Pool & Cabanas on Tuesday, October 25, where attendees and exhibitors mixed and mingled over delicious food, drinks, cigar lounge and a whiskey tasting bar.
Hope to see you all on day two, and if you weren’t able to make it this year, we hope you will join us at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall next year, October 17-19, 2017.
