Make History At IMTS

At IMTS 2008, one of the historic “firsts” will be the use of the new McCormick Place West Building. This building adds 460,000 square feet of exhibit space and 250,000 square feet of meeting space to the McCormick complex. It’s also an award-winning “green building” with many environmentally friendly features. The new West Building houses the Tooling & Workholding Systems Pavilion as well as the Advanced Manufacturing Center, where you can see a section of Boeing’s innovative 787 Dreamliner jet aircraft and many revolutionary manufacturing techniques from leading developers. Click here for details.

IMTS 2008 may be the show at which you discover the machine tool or manufacturing technology that represents an historic breakthrough for your operations.

There’s still time to register for this history-making show.
