AutomationCON included more than 60 hands-on workshops and 12 general-session topics that explored the B&R portfolio. “Attendees traveled from across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Brazil to learn about new innovations, deepen their knowledge of B&R technologies and network with like-minded individuals,” said Christian Kastinger, regional managing director, Americas, at B&R. “The opportunity to connect and grow with customers was truly invaluable.”
