The upcoming EVO Expo provides two days of training, live demos and direct access to industrial automation manufacturers.

Are you trying to solve a specific industrial application challenge? Are you trying to keep up with new technology trends or looking to expand your industry network? 

These are all reasons you'll want to attend the EVO Expo, hosted by OptoPartner EVO Integration.

Get all the event details and see how the expo aims to give you a hands-on, practical way to stay ahead in industrial automation and manufacturing. 

Taking place April 22–23, 2026 in Reading, Pennsylvania, EVO Expo brings together industry professionals, technology providers, and educators for an immersive experience focused on real-world solutions. Unlike larger, overwhelming trade shows, EVO Expo is intentionally designed to be approachable, interactive, and highly relevant—giving attendees the opportunity to explore new technologies, see live product demos, and connect directly with experts in the field.

EVO Integration created this event to help manufacturers and automation professionals work smarter. The goal is to offer you a platform to learn about emerging tools, gain practical knowledge through training sessions, and build relationships that can lead to real operational improvements.

Opto 22 is returning as a sponsor and exhibitor this year. Stop by our booth and chat with Opto 22 Regional Sales Manager Danny Petronella. He'll be offering product demos of both groov EPIC and groov RIO throughout the event.

And don't miss the opportunity to get hands-on groov EPIC training at the expo!

EVO Integration has received several requests to offer regional training that focuses on using the CODESYS programming option included in all Opto 22 groov EPIC controllers.

Dave Engsberg, an Opto-Certified Trainer from OptoPartner Tellus, LLC, will be instructing a 4-hour course on this exact topic. Three separate sessions are available and will include hands-on instruction that will send you home ready to program!

Each session with cover:

• groov EPIC hardware overview (processors, I/O, groov RIO)
• groov EPIC software overview (CODESYS, Node-RED, Ignition, PAC Control, Linux)
• Communication protocols (MQTT, OPC UA, RESTful API, MMP)
  
  

So, who should attend?

• IT, Safety and CI Managers
• Manufacturers and Plant Managers
• Students and Technical Program Leaders
• Maintenance Professionals
• System Integrators and Automation Professionals

We're looking forward to seeing you there!
