Few events capture the pulse of the industry quite like International Manufacturing Technology Show, taking place in Chicago, United States from 14 September 2026 to 19 September 2026. This annual gathering takes place every year, with each edition building on the last. Some 90000 professionals are projected to fill the halls and sessions. McCormick Place provides the backdrop, with the space and facilities to match the programme. Easy to reach and well connected, Chicago welcomes international visitors throughout the season.

From fundamentals to the cutting edge, Manufacturing, Manufacturing Process and Manufacturing Industry run through every part of the programme. The format mixes main-stage keynotes with smaller, focused breakout tracks. With 2000 taking part, there is no shortage of partnerships to explore.

The blend of content and community makes it a genuinely worthwhile trip. Join experts, buyers and partners from around the world at IMTS 2026 and be part of the conversation.

Whether you attend for a single day or the full run, there is value in every visit.
