See for yourself what you can expect at ProMat 2025 – the largest supply chain event of 2025. ProMat is where manufacturing and supply chain pros come together to see what’s new and what’s next from over 1,200 exhibits, four keynotes and over 200 educational sessions.

MHI recently released the list of finalists for the 2025 MHI Innovation Awards. ProMat 2025 exhibitors submitted their most innovative supply chain equipment and technology solutions. After receiving 234 submissions, finalists were chosen as the most innovative products in four categories based on concept, value, and supply chain impact.

No ProMat event is complete without an impressive lineup of keynote speakers, and 2025 is no exception. This year, ProMat 2025 brings you a dynamic mix of topics, from the latest in data and AI to insights from a legendary sports figure. These must-attend keynotes are packed with invaluable perspectives on leadership and key trends and tech impacting the supply chain industry.

Among the lineup of informative on-floor seminars being offered at ProMat are sessions hosted by the MHI Industry Groups in a dedicated theater at the front of the Lakeside Hall. With their combined experience in the supply chain, members of the MHI Industry Groups are leading experts in the industry. 

ProMat is a huge show with 3 show floors, 1,200 exhibits, 4 keynotes and over 200 educational sessions. Don’t try to tackle it without a plan - and some comfortable shoes!
