Future Leaders in Supply Chain: Student Day at MODEX 2026
The future of the material handling and supply chain industry is here! Attend Student Day at MODEX 2026 in Atlanta on Wednesday, April 15, to explore the industry with hands-on learning experiences and connect with industry leaders to discover career opportunities.
What to Expect at Student Day
Student Day is a dynamic event for student attendees to get a behind-the-scenes perspective on how businesses manage the flow of products and materials. Your day will include:
• Tour of Show Floor: Explore the show floor and discover cutting-edge technologies driving automation, robotics, and logistics.
• Networking Opportunities: Connect directly with industry professionals who design and operate the systems behind global supply chains.
• Learn from Leaders: Gain career insights from experts shaping the next generation of supply chain innovation.

Who Can Attend Student Day?
Educators are encouraged to bring groups of students from colleges, universities, high schools, and trade schools who are focused on business, engineering, operations, logistics, or supply chain.
The free event is open to students aged 16 years and older from high schools, trade schools, technical colleges, and universities. If you are under age 18, you must have a faculty member or adult accompany you.
Travel Support
There will be limited financial assistance, based on eligibility criteria, to cover some expenses during Student Day. MHI offers travel grants, stipends, and a small block of discounted hotel rooms to help schools and individuals who need travel support. Learn more about these opportunities and submit your application. Please note that funds are limited and requests are reviewed in the order received.
Industry Volunteers Needed
