The Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT) announces a new theme and logo for IMTS 2008. The theme, “Connecting Global Technology,” is meaningful as IMTS brings together the worldwide manufacturing community to showcase the latest innovative technologies in metalworking equipment and services. The logo, which features a subtle image of a globe with a spark on the horizon, communicates freshness and new ideas.
“Spring-boarding off a tremendously successful IMTS 2006, this new theme and logo will set the tone for an even more exciting IMTS 2008,” said John Krisko, AMT Director – Exhibitions. “IMTS is truly a global event during which buyers and sellers from over 100 countries exchange business and technical knowledge. The logo’s symbolic contemporary globe image recognizes science and global presence. It is a futuristic, yet timeless design.”
IMTS 2008 is the 27th edition of the premier manufacturing technology show in North America. IMTS 2008 is a six-day event opening Monday, September 8, and running through Saturday, September 13, 2008. More than 1,000 exhibiting companies will occupy 1.2 million net square feet of exhibit space at the McCormick Place complex in Chicago, Illinois.
