Did you know the IMTS 2026 Show Planner offers new and enhanced features designed to simplify planning and maximize your show experience? This year’s planner combines AI-powered recommendations with powerful planning tools to help you discover relevant exhibitors, build an efficient schedule, and connect with the people and products that matter most to you. Here are five features to help you get more out of IMTS 2026: 1. Get Personalized Recommendations Skip the guesswork when building your IMTS schedule. You can now receive personalized recommendations for exhibitors, products, and sessions and add them directly to your planner. Using information such as your interests, registration details, and attendance dates, AI helps surface relevant suggestions that save time and effort. You still have complete control over your schedule and can manually add or remove items whenever needed. 2. Plan Your Smartest Route Make every step count with the “Plan My Smartest Route” feature. The planner builds an optimized daily itinerary based on your selected exhibitors, sessions, and attractions while calculating the most efficient walking route through the show floor. Need to make changes? No problem. If you add or remove exhibitors, your route automatically updates. Additionally, if you miss an exhibitor on one day, the planner will adjust your itinerary for the following day to keep you on track. Register Now3. Navigate With the Floor Map Prefer to plan visually? The updated floor plan automatically displays your saved exhibitors, sessions, and attractions, so you can easily see where your points of interest are in relation to one another. It also allows you to add new items directly from the map, helping you organize your visits and navigate the floor more efficiently. 4. Ask IMTS: Your AI Planning Assistant Get answers faster with the new “Ask IMTS,” your AI-powered planning assistant. Ask questions about the show, registration, exhibitors, keynote speakers, or event logistics and receive instant answers sourced from designated IMTS website content. If Ask IMTS can’t answer your question, it will point you to the appropriate resource or contact. This tool is a quick and convenient way to find information and keep your plan on track. 5. Take Your Plan on the Go Take your personalized plan wherever you go. With mobile app integration, your planner data automatically syncs across devices, keeping your agenda, contacts, recommendations, and route information at your fingertips. The mobile app also includes walkable directions using GPS or manual location input to guide you efficiently throughout the show. It will be available in app stores this August.
