FABTECH 2011 Expected to Be the Largest Ever
November 2, 2011
With North America’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing event just around the corner, FABTECH® 2011 is already expected to be the largest ever. Returning to Chicago’s McCormick Place Nov. 14 - 17, 2011, the event will offer four days of activities and provide its projected 32,000 attendees with opportunities to network, learn, and see the latest metal fabrication products and technologies.
According to John Catalano, FABTECH show manager, all signs point to this being a great event.
“Registration is up and we are on track to fill nearly a half million net square feet of exhibit space with more than 1,200 exhibitors,” said Catalano. “The interest in this year’s event is a positive sign that our industry is alive and thriving.”
Visitors will see thousands of pieces of equipment in action on the show floor and more than 500 product debuts. In addition to the exhibits, FABTECH 2011 will also present more than 100 educational sessions on the latest trends in cutting, finishing, forming and fabricating, stamping, tube and pipe, and welding, as well as courses for managers.
A new Buyer Appreciation Day has also been added this year that will allow attendees to take advantage of exhibitor show specials and win prizes.
The show is co-sponsored by five industry associations: American Welding Society (AWS), Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, Intl. (FMA), Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), Precision Metalforming Association (PMA), and Chemical Coaters Association International (CCAI).
