Business leaders and manufacturing experts will deliver keynote presentations and industry-focused panel sessions throughout the three-day event, which will be available to more than 28,000 exhibitors and attendees—1500+ of which will display their latest solutions for the evolving manufacturing industry.

Special event presentation topics at this year's event cover a variety of industry trends, innovations, and timely subjects, including additive manufacturing (3D printing), the importance of women in manufacturing, product development strategies, and the 2016 presidential election. Also included in the special event series are a number of networking and fundraising functions. For the full schedule of special events, please visit www.fabtechexpo.com/special-events.

Like at past Fabtech events, the exhibition should not be missed. Taking place in two different halls in the convention center, there will be plenty of offerings for those who use—or would like to begin using—industrial lasers in their manufacturing processes. On behalf of 16 exhibitors who reached out to Industrial Laser Solutions, we present some of what they will be showcasing at their booths, including their booth numbers (visit each link in the alphabetically ordered list below for full details).
