RoboNexus Show Features Latest Robotics Products and Technologies

10/20/2004 - Robotics Trends and IDG World Expo announced that RoboNexus Conference and Exposition, the nation’s largest event for intelligent, mobile robotics technologies, will be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA on October 21-23, 2004. The conference website is http://www.robonexus.com

According to Dan Kara, conference chairman, President and Co-Founder of Robotics Trends, "RoboNexus was planned as an international event right from the start, and judging by the strong international flavor of participating exhibitors and media outlets, as well as the attendees, that was the correct approach. Of the more than 70 exhibits featured at RoboNexus, a large component will be from outside the U.S. and will include exhibitors from Japan, France, Canada, Switzerland and other countries, many of which will be demonstrating robots and robotic technology that have not been seen outside their respective countries. The media and attendees participating in the event will be equally worldly, with representatives from Asia, Europe, and North and South America. From October 21-23, RoboNexus will become the center of the robotics world.”

According to Eliot Weinman, CEO and Co-Founder of Robotics Trends, “Robots and robotic technologies have an intellectual and emotional appeal that transcends any other type of engineered product, and this appeal has equal applicability across all forms of media - print press, Web press, film, and radio. The large amount of media sources converging on RoboNexus gives evidence that media outlets throughout the world understand the attraction and fascination of robotics technology to people of all ages, and are serving their customers by providing coverage of North America’s largest robotics event.”

The RoboNexus Exposition, held Friday and Saturday, October 22-23, 2004 has been completely sold out. The exhibit floor (over 50,000 square feet) showcases over 70 exhibitors of the latest consumer and business robots, robotics technologies and robotics competitions. There will be several major announcements made by new and leading consumer robotics firms. The event will be attended by thousands of business and consumers, hundreds of press and media channels.
