Welcome to the IMTS 2024 Conference!

We are excited to host you in another edition of the IMTS Conference. Learning and continuing to develop one’s knowledge of the ever-changing facets of the manufacturing technology industry is why we bring this conference to every IMTS. There are 69 educational sessions brought to you by the leading technology experts in the industry. Hand-picked from hundreds of submissions, we strive to bring the best and brightest to you each show.

You will get to hear about the latest technology solutions and then walk the show floor and see this technology in action. Only at IMTS can you learn and then experience the industry’s latest machinery, software, and related products all in one place!

I’m excited for your journey through IMTS 2024 this year. We look forward to seeing all the familiar faces and new faces walking the exhibits, learning in the conferences, and networking with peers and industry leaders.

Welcome to Chicago!

See you soon,

Educational opportunities await

There’s nothing quite the same as in-person educational sessions you choose to attend. In-person 50-minute informative presentations allow you to gain information, ask questions, and share the knowledge you glean with co-workers back at your plant. That’s what you’ll find in the IMTS 2024 Conference.

Powered by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology and managed by GIE Media’s Manufacturing Group, the IMTS 2024 Conference runs Monday, Sept. 9 through Thursday, Sept. 12, in the West Building, ground floor, McCormick Place. The 69 carefully selected sessions cover a range of pertinent topics curated to address the challenges faced from the C-Suite to the factory floor.

From improving productivity and part quality to understanding Industry 4.0/the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and developing a workforce, the IMTS 2024 Conference delivers solutions to your manufacturing challenges.
