Why Attend MAX
MAX isn’t about walking a show floor and collecting brochures. It’s about rolling up your sleeves, seeing real solutions in action with hands-on demonstrations and interactive exhibits, and engaging with experts who are solving problems just like yours. It’s where innovation is put to work in real-time.
Explore all the ways to be part of MAX:
Where Innovation Meets Inspiration
The Manufacturing & Automation eXchange (MAX) was created in direct response to the shifts shaping our industry: smart factories, integrated systems, workforce challenges, and the need for collaboration across disciplines. MAX merges the strengths of five manufacturing brands – ASSEMBLY, Quality Magazine, Adhesives & Sealants Industry, ISHN, and Packaging Strategies – to create one collaborative, unified event that reflects how modern manufacturers think, work, and solve. This is your place to not just see what’s next, but to help shape it.
