Live now2026 NSC Safety Congress & ExpoThe 2026 NSC Safety Congress & Expo runs from September 11, 2026 through September 17, 2026 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, with the Congress and Expo itself on September 14 to 16. The National Safety Council publishes more than 130 educational sessions across eight tracks, more than 25 Professional Development Seminars, and an expo floor of more than 1,000 exhibiting companies. The 2026 keynote programme includes David L. Keeling, assistant secretary of labor for occupational safety and health, and safety advocate Aron Yellott. For exhibitors this is a large, high-volume trade show rather than a small conference, so the return depends on covering a named target list inside a 1,000-booth hall rather than on total scan count.See The Event PlaybookComing soon

IMTS is the largest manufacturing technology show in the Western Hemisphere. More than 1,800 exhibitors span machining, automation, additive manufacturing, inspection, software, tooling, and industrial AI.
