Custom Exhibit Rentals for IMTS Manufacturing Exhibitors

September 14–19, 2026 | McCormick Place, Chicago

IMTS is where manufacturers come to compare technologies and shortlist serious partners. Your booth needs to make complex solutions easy to grasp, keep live demos running smoothly, and give buyers a reason to stop. We design and build custom-modular booth rentals that help your equipment stand out, and your team has better conversations on a busy show floor. Here’s what we can add to your booth design:

  • Live Equipment Demo Zones: Defined demo areas can be built for CNC machines, tooling, or automation systems. This gives your team a safer, more focused setup for live demos without slowing booth traffic.
  • Enclosed Meeting Rooms: Private or semi-private meeting rooms can be added with seating and screens. This gives your team a quieter space for buyer meetings, pricing talks, and detailed discussions.
  • Interactive Product Touchscreens: Touchscreens can be integrated to present product lines, configurations, and use cases. Visitors can explore your solutions quickly while traffic keeps moving.
