Noria’s Lubrication Excellence Conference and Exhibition has been recognized by Tradeshow Week as one of the fastest growing trade events in the United States and Canada. The Tradeshow Week Fastest 50 ranks shows by growth in net square footage of exhibition space over a three year period. Noria’s annual show has grown by 111% since 2003.
“This recognition really belongs to our attendees and exhibitors,” said Noria President Jim Fitch. “There is no way for our programs to grow without their support and their commitment to implementing effective lubrication and maintenance programs.” This year’s Lubrication Excellence and Reliability World event featured workshops, more than 120 technical sessions, certification testing, and social functions alongside product displays from 137-companies. Attendees included plant managers and maintenance, reliability, and lubrication professionals from 45 states and 27 countries.
Reliability World was added to the Lubrication Excellence event in 2005, in conjunction with the launch of Reliable Plant magazine. Noria’s award-winning conference will be expanded again in 2006 with the introduction of Lean Manufacturing. Mike Ramsey, Noria’s Senior Vice President of Publications, Conferences and Marketing said “The shows success reflects our credibility in the lubrication market, and also allows us to create new programs and services to meet our customers’ needs. Our technical teams are in the field every day. There are tremendous synergies between effective lubrication, reliability, and lean programs. We see it and hear it in the plants, and see an opportunity to help companies achieve even more profitable operations by expanding the scope of the conference.”
Lubrication Excellence, Reliability World, and Lean Manufacturing 2006 are May 16-18 in Columbus, Ohio.
Noria accepted its’ Tradeshow Week Fastest 50 award during an event for exhibition industry professionals October 28-30 in Las Vegas.
