AMT officially cancels IMTS 2020

The Association For Manufacturing Technology (AMT), which owns and produces IMTS, has officially cancelled this year's trade show event because of health and safety requirements imposed by the state of Illinois for holding conventions

ITMS will offer two comprehensive digital programs, IMTS Network and IMTS Spark, over the next several months to assist exhibitors and the manufacturing community.

The IMTS Network will live-stream a wide variety of features and human-interest stories from the Manufacturing Technology sector. IMTS Spark, a new program, will be a comprehensive digital platform that connects IMTS exhibitors and visitors, provides educational and networking opportunities and offers first rate experiences, will launch in the near future.

IMTS is planning to return to McCormick Place as scheduled for its normal rotation, September 13-18, 2022.

Visitors who have registered for IMTS 2020 have the choice to receive a refund on registration or transfer their registration to a tax-deductible donation to Miles For Manufacturing, where every dollar is given to programs that prepare students for careers in manufacturing technology. Exhibitors will receive direct communications from IMTS.

More details will be announced in IMTS publications later this week.
