Powerful co-location
Heat Treat Society’s Conference & Exposition was co-located with Gear Expo 2009. AGMA was pleased to be partnering with ASM International to bring both shows together in Indianapolis – adding an additional 3,000 attendees and 180 exhibitors to the Gear Expo experience.
Global exposure
