FABTECH 2011 Heads to Chicago

Thousands Expected to Attend Event at McCormick Place

The countdown to FABTECH 2011 is underway as the event returns to McCormick Place, November 13-16, 2011. The Chicago event is expected to draw 30,000 attendees and 1,200 exhibiting companies and cover more than 410,000 net square feet of floor space.
FABTECH is the largest tradeshow in North America dedicated to showcasing a full spectrum of metal forming, fabricating, stamping, tube and pipe, finishing and welding equipment and technology. Buyers and sellers from around the world will come together at this exhibition to exchange products and services, network with peers, problem-solve and discover new products and vendors.

In today's economic climate, most companies have changed the way they do business. Instead of traveling to multiple tradeshows, companies take advantage of attending just one industry event to locate the products and services needed to stay current in today’s changing economy.  “Tradeshows continue to be the most efficient and cost-effective means for industry professionals to connect,” stated Mark Hoper, FABTECH Show Manager. “FABTECH provides the face-to-face, interactive environment that industry professional's demand, all in one comprehensive venue" Hoper continued.
