IMTS is so BIG (more than 1,100 exhibitors | 10 industry pavilions | 1.1 million+ exhibit square feet | 4 buildings), the average visit is nearly three days.

For budgeting purposes, you should probably allow $350 to $450 a day per team member, plus transportation.

If your team is small relative to the ground that needs to be covered, you might allow for an extra day. Many visitors have commented that they wished they had more time at the show.

IMTS is your One Opportunity to see and compare the world's latest manufacturing technology in one place at one time.
