Sister publication, Modern Machine Shop’s (MMS) Top Shops is returning to IMTS in 2022 at Chicago’s McCormick Place, September 13. This half-day workshop is designed exclusively for owners, executives and managers at job shops and contract manufacturers. The technical program and peer-to-peer discussion deliver practical solutions and business strategies that complement the variety of cutting-edge technologies on display at IMTS.
Panelists and speakers are hand-picked by the MMS staff to represent the very best in the industry. These experts will discuss topics like five-axis machining, automation, supply chain security, digital workflow, workforce development, marketing and much more.
“Top Shops focuses on real-world examples of what’s working and what isn’t,” Matt Danford, program director, says. “Our speakers have decades of experience and are sharing what it takes to improve every aspect of running a machining business.”
The program includes current and previous Top Shops Award honorees. The awards are given every year to shops that excel in one of the four core categories — Machining Technology, Business Strategies, Shopfloor Practices and Human Resources. The 2022 awards will be handed out during this year’s event.
Registration includes:
- Full access to all Top Shops conference sessions.
- Admission to the Top Shops networking activities.
- Complimentary lunch.
- Access to the IMTS Exhibit Hall.
“By concentrating on the core of what makes Top Shops unique, we are able to offer a comprehensive program that will add significant value to your IMTS experience,” Justin Combs, senior marketing manager for the event, adds.
