Press Release Summary: AmCon Manufacturing Expo Attracts OEMs for October Phoenix
Arizona Event

Press Release Body: 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. The benefits of attending a regional
AmCon show are significant. The AmCon Arizona Contract Manufacturing Expo will be
held in Phoenix, Arizona on October 14-15, 2008 at the Phoenix Convention Center,
South Hall G.

shops and contract manufacturers can meet face-to-face with serious OEM buyers of
custom manufacturing services from the region. Arizona holds the number two spot in

activities. The show, held at the Phoenix Convention Center, attracts attendees from
the aerospace, electronics, medical, and other high-tech industries.”
