The Onshoring Project and IMTS+ are new programs to strengthen and promote the positive impact of the manufacturing technology industry.
The Onshoring Project
For the first time at IMTS 2022, OEMs, subcontractors, and job shops will have the opportunity to convene on achieving and maintaining agile supply chains for North American companies. Meeting face to face is an energizing, rewarding, and effective way to form new relationships, solidify existing networks, and exchange ideas. On Friday, Sept. 16, during IMTS 2022 at McCormick Place, the Onshoring Project will host an event to facilitate positive change for the North American supply chain. You’ll have the opportunity to:
Connect with suppliers, OEMs, and manufacturing technology providers.
Find new metrics, tools, and methods that shift the focus from an almost single reliance on piece-price in sourcing toward a holistic sourcing approach.
Recognize new considerations for sourcing.
Understand the true benefits of reshoring and its impact on profit, workforce, and community.
We could not be more enthusiastic to present this event with its focus on a comprehensive strategy to encourage win-win networks and fortify the advanced manufacturing industry. Supply chain innovators, practitioners, and experts will be on hand to dispel myths and explain how holistic sourcing of lean-performing North American suppliers is financially beneficial. We intend for visitors to walk away with connections and practical action items to apply the next day.
The Onshoring Project aims to produce greater efficiencies, higher sustainability, and expanded prosperity. In 2020 in response to the supply chain challenges of the pandemic, the Onshoring Project was founded by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology, Gardner Business Media, Industry Week, the Reshoring Initiative, American Industrial Acquisition Corp. (AIAC-ASMG), and Helpful Engineering. If you are interested in joining the Onshoring Project, visit TheOnshoringProject.com.
With more than 1 million square feet of exhibition space already reserved, IMTS 2022 continues to accept booth requests and will be a hub for making new contacts and rekindling past connections for a robust, advanced manufacturing renaissance.
IMTS+
We’re launching IMTS+, a curated online destination to inform, inspire, and entertain while capturing the lightning-speed advances of manufacturing technology, the continuously emerging ideas from our community, and the captivating industry stories from every corner of the world.
