Delivering Value SME AND AMT
By joining forces to create the Manufacturing Technology Series, SME and AMT are optimizing the exhibitor value of these four leading manufacturing events. As an exhibitor, you gain invaluable access to buyers, potential partners, industry trends and emerging technologies. In addition, the series elevates your exposure to a wide array of new prospects you couldn’t otherwise reach. This unified Manufacturing Technology Series lowers barriers to broader participation while fostering innovation, collaboration and growth throughout the industry.
For more than nine decades, SME has stood for manufacturing. As a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing quality, progress and prosperity throughout the manufacturing industry, we have worked tirelessly to serve the interests of practitioners, companies, educators, government and communities across the manufacturing spectrum.
AMT, the Association For Manufacturing Technology, represents and promotes U.S.- based manufacturing technology and its members—
those who design, build, sell and service the continuously evolving technology that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Founded in 1902, the association specializes in providing targeted business assistance, extensive global support and business intelligence systems and analysis.
In the digital world, manufacturing is more personalized and customer-driven than ever before. It is important that manufacturers stay in tune with how these changes impact their businesses at the regional, national and global levels. AMT is proud to encourage technology awareness across the country in this partnership with SME on the MT Series.
Peter R. Eelman, Vice President & CXO AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology

OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT, COLLABORATE AND PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS
The Manufacturing Technology Series provides unparalleled opportunities for exhibitors and attendees to learn, collaborate and connect within a varied, stimulating and information-rich environment.
Our commitment is to continually adjust and modify our approach to current industry issues and address the most up-to-date needs of OEMs, suppliers and manufacturing professionals. This is why the Manufacturing Technology Series events remain a unique opportunity to speak face-to-face with manufacturing practitioners looking for innovative solutions to their most difficult manufacturing challenges.
FOCUS ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
The Manufacturing Technology Series events — East, West, Southeast and Southwest — attract manufacturing practitioners from across the U.S. to buy and sell as well as look for advancements that will help cut costs, streamline supply chains, improve competitiveness and grow their business.
Digital optimization continues to be a main competitive advantage for all manufacturing businesses nationwide. Technology at Manufacturing Technology Series events runs the gamut from long-established foundational manufacturing to the advanced technology — including additive manufacturing and automation — that makes possible smart manufacturing and the fourth industrial revolution.
The Smart Manufacturing Experience, located at each event, features new advancements in smart manufacturing technologies, with a significant emphasis on adoption and implementation to transform manufacturing operations through digital technologies.
If your company offers cutting-edge digital technologies or services, take center stage in the Smart Manufacturing Tech Hub Theater and position your brand as a leader in the industry.
To simplify the partner experience, we’ve developed a turnkey package for $4,000 that includes:
• Hard Wall Display with Graphics
• Unlimited Material Handling
• Carpeting and Furnishings
• Display Monitor
• Electrical
• Tech Hub Presentation and Smart Shop Essentials Sponsorship*
*additional $1,000
This is a limited opportunity to the first 20 companies at each event.
Ransom attacks continue to grow, and manufacturing businesses are a primary target. As part of the Smart Manufacturing Experience, exhibitors can showcase their cybersecurity technology products and services in the Secure Shop area of the exhibit floor, where attendees can learn about the rising impact of cyberattacks. They can also learn how to prioritize investments, how to adopt robust defenses to protect their company’s digital assets and reputation, and how to navigate through compliance challenges.
STUDENT SUMMITS
Hosted alongside Manufacturing Technology Series events, SME Bright Minds Student Summits showcase the high-tech nature of modern manufacturing and promote the industry as an exciting, growing and lucrative career path to high school students and educators.
