SMI Announces Combined 2024 Trade Show

In December 2022 SMI announced the cancellation of the 2023 Metal Engineering eXpo, scheduled for Sept. 12-14 in Las Vegas at the South Point Hotel and Casino. The announcement came after a November agreement made by SMI and the Chicago Association of Spring Manufacturers, Inc. (CASMI) to combine their trade shows in 2024.

The joint CASMI SpringWorld and the SMI Metal Engineering eXpo will be held Oct. 2-4, 2024, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. The 2024 event will combine the strengths of the two associations into one trade show for the good of the industry where SMI provides technical education and CASMI provides the venue.
