Wisconsin Manufacturing & Technology Show 2027 — West Allis, WI

The Wisconsin Manufacturing & Technology Show (WMTS) is the Midwest's premier biennial gathering for metalworking, production machining, tool & die, stamping, fabrication, automation and metrology. Held on the off years of IMTS, it has been a fixture since 1989 and draws thousands of industry decision-makers to Wisconsin State Fair Park in West Allis, just minutes from Milwaukee. Across more than 100,000 square feet of exhibit space, attendees see high-performance machinery running live, compare next-generation processes and meet hundreds of world-class suppliers. Technical seminars led by manufacturing experts cover Industry 4.0, supply chain, additive manufacturing, AI and future manufacturing, engineering and machining technology. Beyond the show floor, the event includes a Student Robotics arena and Student Day designed to help manufacturers bridge the labor gap, plus structured networking with peers and industry executives. Visitors traveling from out of town typically stay in Milwaukee or West Allis hotels, often with discounted show rates arranged with area properties. WMTS 2027 runs October 13–14, 2027, from 9:00am to 4:00pm daily at Wisconsin State Fair Park, 8200 West Greenfield Avenue, West Allis, WI 53214.
