"The manufacturing industry has faced a variety of challenges this year, and we think there is no better way to move forward than to gather as an industry, in-person, to learn together, network and see the latest technologies leading vendors have to offer," said Bill DeYoe, Publisher of ASSEMBLY Magazine. "The ASSEMBLY staff has been working diligently to provide our audience with hands-on learning opportunities and special events which will provide insight on the important issues facing manufacturers including the Industry 4.0 revolution, incorporating automation, the impact of increased competition, and so much more."

In addition to 210+ exhibitors, three pre-event intensive workshops, a dozen learning theater educational sessions and six "guided tours" of the exhibit hall. The ASSEMBLY Show will feature FIRST Illinois Robotics and Tech Challenge teams during the Tuesday evening reception on the exhibit floor. High school teams will demonstrate the robots they have built, using technology applicable for assembly manufacturing. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a 501(c)(3) not for-profit public charity which designs accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math, while building self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills.

Global sales of electric cars, trucks and motorcycles are expected to grow from 4.1 million units in 2021 to 34.7 million units by 2030. That sort of demand has both established OEMs and a slew of startups scrambling to ramp up production. With these statistics in mind the ASSEMBLY Show will feature the Autonomous & Electric Mobility (AEM) display, in booth #119, featuring Zimmer Group's gripper used to help build the Ford Mustang Mach-E. The display is presented by Autonomous and Electric Mobility, a supplement of ASSEMBLY which features news and products for mobility industry professionals focused on automated, connected, electrified and share vehicle technologies.

Two awards programs will be held during the event. Prior to the keynote address by Sudhanshu Gaur, Vice President, Hitachi America, and Chief Architect - Smart Manufacturing, Hitachi Astemo the editors of ASSEMBLY Magazine will present the Plant of the Year Award to GKN Automotive, a Tier One supplier headquartered in London.
