The Best of the Convention — Right at Your Fingertips

We’re incredibly grateful to the 640 MHEDA members and guests from over 234 companies who came together in sunny Tampa from April 26-30th for our 2025 Annual Convention and Exhibitor Showcase “Energize For Tomorrow“. Your energy, insights, and commitment to growth made this event a powerful gathering of minds and momentum.

Throughout the week, we tackled some of the most pressing topics facing the material handling industry today—from embracing new technologies and navigating economic shifts, to building resilient teams and uncovering strategies for long-term success. The Exhibitor Showcase brought together leading solutions and innovations designed to help you stay ahead and better serve your customers.

We extend our sincere thanks to the 2025 MHEDA Board of Directors and Manufacturer Board of Advisors for their guidance and efforts in shaping this experience. A special acknowledgment goes to Convention Chair Darin Boik, whose leadership played a key role in making this event a success.
