IMTS-Update #2

July 14th, 2008 at 03:59pm Bob Trojan

Although it may seem far away, the IMTS show in Chicago September 8-13th is fast approaching. With 1,279 exhibitors over 1,000,000 square feet of exhibition space, it is being considered the 4th largest IMTS ever!

In case you wonder if the economy is going to affect attendance, visitor registrations is 8% ahead of previous registrations at this date and group registrations are also way up from past registrations. Sounds the the buyers are coming out!

The first event that our region is planning is on Sept. 9th. This will be Student Summit where we will take area high school students to IMTS for the day. I’ll have more later. A second event is being planned for Sept. 10th; more on this later also.
