According to John Krisko, director of exhibitions for IMTS, the 2010 show is on track to be the eighth largest IMTS since the show’s inception in 1927. “We are on track to fill well over 1 million net square feet of exhibit space and host more than 1,000 exhibitors,” says Krisko. “It is encouraging that the show is holding steady in these uncertain times and that there appears to be confidence in the future and importance of global manufacturing. We’re moving ahead with our planning for a great event that will inspire the industry for a bright future.”
