A message from Peter Eelman, VP & CXO
I would like to thank you for your loyalty to IMTS, your commitment to the industry, and your patience, as we continue to work through the complexity of cancelling IMTS 2020. Our biggest goal throughout this process has been to make sure that booth space payments you have made towards IMTS 2020 remain fully protected.
While IMTS 2020 has been cancelled, please remember that the IMTS Network and IMTS spark will be activated in September and will offer you outstanding opportunities to connect with the IMTS audience. For more information, go to IMTS.com.
Today, we can report that we have developed a plan that achieves the goal of protecting your investment in IMTS 2020 and offers you choices as to how you would like that investment refunded or applied to IMTS 2022. Please consider your options below carefully, as we have included several strong incentives and opportunities as a reward for your loyalty.
After making your decision, log on to your IMTS 2020 e-kit and enter your response. You will have until September 15, 2020 to make your decision, if we do not hear from you by then we will process Option #1 on your behalf.
