Event guide
Why this event is on the calendar
ProMat 2027 is confirmed for April 19–21 at McCormick Place in Chicago. The organizer describes it as the largest manufacturing and supply-chain event of 2027, with more than 1,100 exhibits, 200 educational sessions, and four keynotes.
For robotics teams, the attraction is direct exposure to buyers and systems in manufacturing, distribution, and supply chains. The official site promises practical demonstrations and no additional charge for exhibition or conference-session attendance, making it a high-density opportunity to compare automation vendors and operating models.
Who gets value from it
Manufacturing and distribution leaders, warehouse operators, AMR and material-handling buyers, integrators, suppliers, and automation founders.
How the day tends to work
Plan for a three-day expo with 9 a.m.–5 p.m. exhibit hours and a substantial education program. It rewards a prepared meeting list and use-case-based vendor route.
