An increasingly volatile global trade and consumer landscape is putting pressure on supply chain professionals to revamp their operations. Supply chains are under significant strain, grappling with tariffs, shifting demand, and unpredictable disruptions—making traditional operational methods unsustainable. Enter ProMat 2025—the event that brings the supply chain industry together to solve these challenges with innovation and a clear eye on the impact of leading supply chain trends.

Which supply chain technologies will be transformative in 2025? That is one of the questions answered by the 2025 MHI Annual Industry Report. The findings of the report will be revealed during the 2025 MHI Annual Industry Report keynote, which is presented during ProMat.

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.

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! Thankfully, it’s never been easier to plan your agenda so you can focus on getting the most out of the show by having adequate time to see the equipment and tech and attend the educational sessions of interest to you. The ProMat My Show Planner allows you to do just that, and your plan will automatically transfer to the ProMat app for efficient on-site use. You must be registered to use the planner, so if you have not registered yet, register now to utilize this important show resource.

After a full day of learning, networking, and soaking in the energy of the trade show floor, nothing hits the spot like a great meal.

To help you avoid any food faux pas (like ketchup on a hotdog—don’t do it in Chicago!), the MHI team has put together a list of our favorite restaurants.
