Industry leaders are gearing up for big events this November to highlight their latest solutions in industrial automation.
As 2021 is wrapping up, several industry leaders are holding hybrid events this November to showcase their latest solutions.
Some of the largest industrial automation events are coming up in the next few weeks. This article will look at the Rockwell Automation Fair 2021, the Universal Robots APAC Cobot Expo 2021, and the Y NOW 2021 conference. Learn more about how their participants and organizers are adapting to a new hybrid reality.
Rockwell Automation Fair 2021
Automation Fair 2021, brought to you by Rockwell Automation and members of its PartnerNetwork, will take place between November 10 and 11 in Houston, Texas, as well as online.
The event has been running every year since the 1990s and has throughout the years innovated more and more, both in terms of technologies showcased, and in the organizational side of the conference.

“That first year, we wanted to try something new to bring our customers together. Here we are, 30 years later, still running strong,” Tina Dear, Vice President of Marketing for Rockwell Automation told Control Automation.
According to the organizers, the hybrid experience will now combine the technological capabilities of a virtual event with the connectedness of an in-person event.
“Every year, it has been about bringing all of our customers along to what’s latest in automation and digital transformation. This year will be no different,” Dear added.
The conference will showcase over 100 exhibits from Rockwell Automation and members of its PartnerNetwork across a number of industries.
“We are going to showcase ten industry forums this year. These are going to feature panel discussions from leading industry experts in industries including automotive and tire, chemical, decarbonization, and emerging energies, food and beverage, life sciences, metals, mining, cement, oil and gas, power, and water/wastewater,” Dear concluded.
The Rockwell Automation Fair 2021 is free to attend and features a different schedule for the in-person and virtual programs.
Universal Robots APAC Cobot Expo 2021
The Asia Pacific (APAC) Cobot Expo 2021 will be an online, virtual event and will take place on 9 and 10 November.

This year’s event will focus on manufacturers, ecosystem partners, and system integrators and how they can deploy and implement robotic solutions.
“This year our message is clear: automation is about collaboration and automation is empowering change across the globe,” McKew added. “Both locally and internationally, the winds of change are upon us and those who aren’t paying attention are going to be left behind.”
