Connecting Through Events
IMTI drives manufacturing technology forward by giving industry leaders many opportunities to connect. We host many events each year, including regular workshops, webcasts, and conferences on a local and national level to move the US manufacturing infrastructure forward.
Attendees network, learn, and influence the direction of manufacturing technology in their organizations and the nation. Together, we address "grand challenge" problems too large for any single organization.

IIMS: A Major New National Initiative
IMTI has accepted a leadership role in defining the vision for a major new national initiative called Intelligent, Integrated Manufacturing Systems (IIMS).
The IIMS initiative fosters a technology-rich environment that enables breakthrough and disruptive changes to revitalize U.S. manufacturing, enable U.S. competitiveness in a global marketplace, and ensure long-term U.S. economic success through the 21st century. The philosophy of IIMS is that:
- Innovation is a key to economic success.
- American ingenuity, enabled by a new and rich technological tool set, drives innovation.
- Innovation creates wealth and great jobs.
- Therefore, technology is the engine of economic growth, and American ingenuity fuels that engine.
