Why Attend The ASSEMBLY Show?
What Is The ASSEMBLY Show?
The ASSEMBLY Show is a leading manufacturing event focused on automation and assembly technology, where engineers and operations leaders come to evaluate equipment, compare technologies, and improve production performance. Produced by ASSEMBLY Magazine, the event is grounded in real industry insight and the technologies shaping modern manufacturing.
This is where manufacturing professionals see equipment running, ask questions directly to suppliers, and walk away with a clearer understanding of what works in real production environments.
Assembly and Quality, Together
Assembly builds it. Quality proves it. Experience both in one place.
In partnership with The ASSEMBLY Show, The Quality Show returns to Rosemont, bringing together measurement, inspection, and testing technologies alongside ASQ-led education.
Manufacturing performance depends on how well assembly and quality work together. Explore both in one environment and see how quality integrates directly into production to improve accuracy, consistency, and overall performance.
Who Attends?
If your role involves building, improving, or managing manufacturing processes, The ASSEMBLY Show is designed for you.
You’ll join professionals actively evaluating technologies and solving production challenges, including:
- Engineers (Manufacturing, Design, Process, Application, R&D)
- Operations & Production Professionals
- Corporate & Executive Leadership (Owners, Presidents, CEOs, VPs, Directors)
- Quality Management Professionals (Quality Engineers, Technicians, QC/QA Managers, Compliance Leaders)
- Quality Software Users & Process Improvement Specialists
- Project & Design Managers
This is not a passive audience; ASSEMBLY Show attendees come to assess technologies, make decisions, and improve how their operations run.
Reasons to Attend
- Evaluate Automation and Assembly Technology
Explore robotics, automation systems, fastening tools, and smart assembly technologies used in real production environments. Compare capabilities, ask detailed questions, and identify what fits your operation. - Experience Equipment in Real Production Conditions
The show floor is built around live machinery and working systems. See how equipment performs, understand limitations, and evaluate technologies more efficiently before making investment decisions. - Make Faster, More Informed Decisions
Guided tours and structured education help you navigate the show floor and focus on what matters most. Spend less time searching and more time evaluating the technologies that impact your operation. - Connect with Industry Peers and Experts
Meet engineers, operations leaders, and suppliers from across the manufacturing ecosystem. Build relationships, exchange ideas, and connect with professionals who are tackling similar challenges on the show floor and at dedicated networking events. - Expand Your Industry Perspective
Your ASSEMBLY Show badge provides access to both The Quality Show and SMTA International. Explore quality technologies, inspection and testing systems, and gain additional exposure to electronics manufacturing and adjacent disciplines shaping modern production.
