IMTS Product Overview

The Power of Integrated Show Promotion:

More than 90,000 potential buyers will walk the halls of McCormick Place looking for new technology and innovative products during IMTS 2008. Almost all of them will plan their visit prior to arriving at the venue - they will use several tools to decide who to see, what to see and when to see it - that is why it is important to get your message and your exhibit in front of them when they are planning their visit. Online at IMTS.com or at breakfast reviewing the Directory of Exhibits, in their Hotel Room reading the ShowDaily or watching IMTSTV, or in their office researching new product offerings and developments explained in Modern Machine Shop - attendees will look in two places - in print and online - and we offer the best way to reach attendees in both areas.

More importantly, we offer discounts for the marketers who integrate their promotional efforts by combining multiple products...
