Automation Technology Expo (ATX) 2019 | Informa PLC | 23 October 2019 | Minneapolis Convention Center, 1301 Second Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55403

Automation Technology Expo (ATX) Minneapolis connects you with top industry experts. But that's true of other trade shows. What sets ATX Minneapolis apart is that it's combined with four other complementary events. That means you have a chance to circulate outside your usual network and discover how other companies across the supply chain are solving their end-to-end manufacturing challenges, from automation to AI, packaging, and plastics. The heart of this show is not only about helping you connect with automation suppliers, but also with industry leaders in plastics manufacturing, packaging, automation, robotics, medical technology, and more.

Who Should Attend ATX Minneapolis?
This event is designed for experts who need to solve tricky challenges in robotics and automation technology. Come discover how solutions in packaging automation and 3D printing can impact multiple markets. This is the place where exhibitors, engineers, executives, and thought leaders can learn, contribute, and create solutions to move the industry forward.
