Registration is now open for PMTS 2027, the Precision Machining Technology Show, which is scheduled for May 4-6, 2027, at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The event is presented by the Precision Machined Products Association and produced by Gardner Business Media in association with Manufacturing Connected, Modern Machine Shop, Production Machining and Products Finishing.
According to the organizers, PMTS is the only North American trade show built specifically for precision, high-volume machine shops. The 2027 event is being positioned as a follow-on to the 2025 edition, which the organizers describe as record-setting and attended by more than 6,600 professionals in Cleveland.
On the exhibition side, organizers say booth sales are running ahead of the earlier cycle. More than 230 exhibitors are already committed to present Swiss-type, multispindle, rotary transfer and CNC turning technology, along with tooling, automation and inspection systems aimed at precision production environments.
Attendees can register at no cost through November 30, 2026, on PMTS.com by using the THANKS27 promo code. Registration covers access to the exhibit hall, in-booth demonstrations and all Tech Talk sessions. The published package also includes live machining demonstrations, expert-led Tech Talks across all three days and opening-morning sessions of the PMPA National Technical Conference.
The co-located Parts Cleaning Conference is also set to return as a one-day event on Wednesday, May 5, with a separate registration fee. Organizers also list an Opening Night Party on Tuesday, May 4, as well as show-floor happy hours on Tuesday and Wednesday.
For the precision machining supply chain, the event remains a focused marketplace for machine tools, workholding, tooling, automation and quality-related technology tied to high-throughput production. For contract manufacturers, OEM suppliers and sourcing teams, its value lies in comparing process technologies and application support within a narrowly defined manufacturing segment.
