A3 Makes Automate Show an Annual Showcase

Automate — the largest robotics and automation trade show in North America — will return in 2024 and continue as an annual event. McCormick Place in Chicago will host next year’s event May 6-9, 2024. The show will then return to Detroit, the site of this year’s show, May 12-15, 2025.

This year’s Automate in Detroit features more than 750 exhibits, covering more than 300,000 sq ft with 25,000 registrants.

The Automate trade show is now an annual event. A3 cited overwhelming demand in support of the decision, which it announced on the first day of Automate 2023. Courtesy of A3.

“Over the past several show cycles, Automate has grown substantially,” said Jeff Burnstein, president of A3. “What’s more, the pace of change in automation is staggering — attendees and exhibitors alike asked that we increase our frequency to an annual show to help keep them ahead of the curve.”

The Automate 2024 show will be free to attend for anyone interested in, or who works with, automation. Attendees will see the latest in cutting-edge robotics, machine vision, artificial intelligence, motion control, and related automation technologies. In conjunction with the free show, the paid Automate Conference will feature over 150 talks from the world’s top industry experts.
