The IMTS 2024 Conference

One of the most notable on-site conferences is the namesake The IMTS 2024 Conference. Running Sept. 9-12, 2024, the conference focuses on practical solutions featured on the IMTS show floor that can be implemented immediately. Powered by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology and managed by GIE Media, the 2024 conference is comprised of five different tracks and more than 65 sessions. Tracks include:

Process Innovations
Alternative Processes
Plant Operations
Quality and Inspection
Automation

The IMTS 2024 Conference presenters have been selected by an expert review board. Only IMTS exhibitors are eligible to present, and presentations may not be promotional. Instead, each session provides visitors with indispensable education on a technology that is displayed on the show floor. Visitors become educated consumers who know what they are looking at and seeking.

“GIE Media’s manufacturing team sits down and reviews every single conference submission, carefully ensuring that every presentation is insightful and helpful to participants,” explains Mike DiFranco, GIE’s group publisher. “IMTS Conference attendees can learn about a particular topic or technology and then head up to the show floor to see it in person.”

The IMTS 2024 Conference will feature multiple presentations on timely topic areas ranging from artificial intelligence and machine learning to IIoT to automation. Some highlights include presentations on intelligent machine learning and computed tomography, post-processing for additive manufacturing, and legacy machinery potential in the Industry 4.0 era.
