One of the surest signs of spring is the annual rite of passage involving thousands of material handling and logistics professionals eschewing the warmer weather and sunny skies to spend the week inside a massive exhibition hall. Yes, time again for MODEX, which will be held again this year in Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center, April 13-16.
This year, more than 1,100 exhibitors are expected to be on hand at MODEX 2026, displaying their various supply chain solutions throughout three exhibition halls. In addition to the trade show booths, there will also be more than 200 educational seminars from many of the vendors, broken down into 10 tracks:
· Automation & Robotics
· Data Capture, Analytics & Information Management
· Distribution & Warehousing
· E-Commerce Fulfillment & Last-Mile Logistics
· Emerging Trends & Technology
· Manufacturing, Planning & Sourcing
· Risk Mitigation & Resilience Planning
· Sustainability & Alternative Energy
· Transportation & Logistics
· Workforce & Labor.
On top of all that, MODEX 2026 will also feature four keynote sessions in a ballroom setting:
· “Lessons Learned from the Supply Chain Front Line” — Richard McPhail, executive VP and CFO, The Home Depot
· “Exponential AI Supply Chains: Transforming Logistics with AI and the ExO Methodology” — Salim Ismail, chairman, OpenExo
· “A Conversation with a Racing Legend,” Dale Earnhardt Jr.
· “2026 MHI Annual Industry Report Panel” — hosted by MHI’s John Paxton and Deloitte’s Wanda Johnson.
In the following slideshow, you’ll see some of the new products you can expect to see in person at MODEX 2026. And be sure to subscribe to MH&L's Products of the Week newsletter to get regular updates of more products unveiled at the show and afterwards.
