The Automate Convention is open tomorrow still in Detroit at Huntington Place (COBO). I went today for work and while it’s not really a “Kid Friendly” scene (no one under 12 is allowed in per conference rules) anyone over 12, admission is free to the floor show.
The conference sessions are $$$ but not why you should be going. There are lots of robotics companies there, automation companies, software, etc. I’m planning on going back tomorrow to interview some of the companies for my blog but I’m curious who else is going/went.
Probably a decent place to make some contacts for mentors and sponsors.
