Registration is now open for the IMTS 2022 Conference, one of 12 conferences occurring at IMTS – The International Manufacturing Technology Show, which runs Sept. 12-17. All conferences are co-located with the show at Chicago’s McCormick Place. 

“Content is key in the information era, and we have organized the widest array of conference topics ever at IMTS 2022 to help visitors move their people, business, and technology forward,” says Bonnie Gurney, vice president – strategic partnerships for AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology, which owns and produces IMTS. 

New events include the IMTS Women Make Manufacturing Move program to inspire women, the IMTS Investor Forum, and The Smarter Sourcing Symposium presented by IMTS and The Onshoring Project. After packing conference rooms at its IMTS 2018 debut, the Job Shops Specialty Program returns for IMTS 2022 with a focus on ready-to-implement digital technologies that will help job shops address their most pressing issues.

The IMTS 2022 Conference is composed of multiple sessions throughout the week. Topics include process innovation, plant operations, quality/inspection, automation, improving productivity, improving part quality, and developing a competent workforce to improve the competitiveness of manufacturing in the United States. The additional seven (7) partner conferences cover subjects such as additive manufacturing, 3D printing for job shops, lasers, parts cleaning, industrial interoperability standards, and technology leadership. The Conferences at IMTS are presented by AMT, as well as by its partners and organizations co-locating their events with IMTS, including ASME, Gardner Business Media, GIE Media, HANNOVER MESSE USA, Laser Institute of America, and the OPC Foundation.

“Conferences at IMTS 2022 offer a deeper dive into the technologies exhibited on the show floor, the chance to network with subject matter experts and like-minded peers, and the opportunity for professional growth,” says Gurney. “Plan to take advantage of these learning opportunities for a few days, then add another day to your itinerary to walk the show floor. There is no more efficient way to gather more information in one location, plus it gives you a chance to rest your feet while stretching your mind.”

Details on conferences are below.
