Convention Focus
MHEDA invites you to join us April 24-28, 2021 at the JW Marriott Austin Hotel, in vibrant downtown Austin, Texas. We are planning a safe, socially distant and responsible event designed to give you the opportunity to meet in person with your Material Handling business colleagues. While we may not be shaking hands, we will be tipping our hats to one another for surviving a momentous year in history. Complete convention details and registration will be available in January. We are optimistic about the future and look forward to seeing you again in Austin!

MHEDA provides the industry with a new and easy way to connect with member companies and help find products, services and solutions with our “Virtual Showcase,” an online exhibit hall. “Walk” the tradeshow floor to learn and research material handling products and connect with companies you know and trust.
Over 100 MHEDA members used this opportunity to exhibit online and promote their company’s products and services. The Virtual Exhibitor Showcase has been well received and has recived very positive remarks. The Virtual Showcase will continue through January 2021 so please show your support and visit today!

MVP/MVS Awards
"One of the most effective ways to rise above the competition is by seeking out and winning awards in your industry,” says Forbes Magazine. The reason this is such an effective component of a holistic marketing strategy is that awards are a fundamentally limited resource. While any company can send emails, create promotions and run advertisements, relatively few can claim that they’ve actually been recognized by trusted third parties as among the best in their field.
MHEDA offers two award programs; the MVP Award for distributors & integrators and the MVS Award for supplier and associate members. Both awards require companies to complete an application that covers key areas of business excellence, letters of recommendation, a company Give Back effort and documentation of involvement in continuing education. Awards are announced to the membership as they are awarded, and through industry press in early 2021. This is an annual recognition program exclusively for MHEDA Members. To see the list of 2020 Award winners, visit the MHEDA website at www.mheda.org/awards. Spotlight on MHEDA
After 40 years in our Vernon Hills, IL office, MHEDA is moving! MHEDA purchased the building in 1980 and for several years we had been contemplating getting out of the real estate business. Our first-floor tenant was a built-in buyer and we closed the sale on September 30. With the MHEDA staff primarily working from home this year, we realized that a smaller office would not only work well for us, but would also save the association money. When anyone on our team needs the use of a traditional office, we have the tools in place. You can rest assured that we will continue to provide you with the value you expect when we officially move to this new hybrid environment on January 1. We’d love a visit from you when you’re in town. You can find us at 118 S. Main Street, Suite 11, Wauconda, IL 60084. Stay tuned for photos!
