Plans are well underway for the year 2012’s premier manufacturing event, IMTS – The International Manufacturing Technology Show, which will be held Sept. 10-15, 2012, at Chicago’s McCormick Place. The show theme for 2012 is Be There and is a call to action for the more than 82,000 industrial decision makers from more than 106 countries who will attend IMTS to get ideas and find answers to their manufacturing problems and challenges, but most importantly, to stay ahead of the competition.
