Press Release Body: The benefits of attending a regional AmCon show are significant.
The South Florida event will be held at Broward County Convention Center - Hall D,
on September 23 - 24, 2008. According to Kati Olson, President, "After a highly
successful show in 2007, AmCon is returning to Fort Lauderdale to help contract
manufacturers and job shops tap into the thriving high-tech manufacturing market in
South Florida."

Besides aerospace and telecommunications OEMs, Florida is also home to a growing
number of medical manufacturing companies. In addition to major medical companies
such as Cordis, Beckman Coulter and Bausch & Lomb, the 2007 show attracted an
impressive number of small to medium size emerging medical OEMs from throughout
Southern Florida.

Attendees found the centrally located Broward County Convention Center easily
accessible. And, while the majority came from Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach
counties, a significant number of attendees traveled from the central part of the
state.

the show: ABB, Air Turbine Technologies, Airline Support Group, American Bidet,
Anspach, Armstrong Power Syst., B/E Aerospace, Bausch & Lomb, Beckman Coulter,

Engineers and buyers attending an AmCon Contract Manufacturing Expo can find one or
multiple sources to take a project from concept or prototype to finished product
quickly and at competitive prices. OEMs can find sources for engineering, design,
prototypes, forming, fabricating, machining, finishing, assembly and electronic
manufacturing services all under one roof. Whether looking for one part or
production runs, attendees find multiple sources from which to choose. AmCon offers
attendees a unique opportunity to investigate a variety of manufacturing options,
both new and traditional, and find the best processes and materials for specific
applications. Attendees view actual samples of products that have been produced for
other OEMs in their industry and can get quotes on current projects and compare
quality, pricing, and lead times from multiple vendors all in a few hours. Only
AmCon shows provide a "hands on" one-on-one education. Since the exhibits are
staffed with top management and technical personnel, attendees have an in-depth
discussion regarding project design, materials and production issues. AmCon shows
are free, including seminars on a variety of manufacturing processes and quality
issues. Fall 2008 AmCon shows include Fort Lauderdale, FL - Sept. 23-24;
Minneapolis, MN - Oct. 7-8; Phoenix, AZ - Oct. 14-15; Houston, TX - Oct. 29-30;
Greensboro, NC - Nov. 18-19. Register today to attend any of these shows at:
