FedEx, the Memphis-based, global transportation and technology leader, has been named the official title sponsor for this conference, which builds on the success of A3 s Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) event last held September 2019 in Louisville, KY, attended by hundreds of industry leaders. We are so excited to be back to live events, starting in the AMR and logistics space, said Jeff Burnstein, President of A3. While our 2020 virtual event was successful - more than 2,900 registered for our AMR conference last fall - there s nothing like meeting the leading companies and learning about the new technologies and latest applications in person. We expect the pandemic to be in the rear-view mirror in the US by October, and will take all steps necessary to create a safe environment for all of our participants.
