Many business owners attend FABTECH solo, and there’s no doubt it’s a smart move. But what if you brought your entire team? Or at least as many as possible while keeping things running back home?
If you’re a business owner in the metal forming, fabrication, welding, or finishing industries, here are four compelling reasons to bring your team to FABTECH 2025, happening September 8–11 in Chicago:
1. Access Industry-Leading Education
FABTECH offers a robust lineup of technical sessions and expert-led panels designed to upskill attendees across every level of experience. From welding and cutting to automation and digital manufacturing, your team can get hands-on knowledge of the latest practices and processes—all in one place. Whether it’s learning a new skill or refining an existing one, FABTECH’s education tracks help your workforce stay ahead of the curve.
2. Discover the Latest Technology
Innovation is front and center at FABTECH. Your team will see live equipment demos, compare new tools and machinery, and engage directly with tech leaders who are reshaping the industry. Whether it’s robotics, additive manufacturing, advanced materials, or AI-driven solutions, attending FABTECH gives your team an inside look at what’s next—and how to apply it to your business.
3. Strengthen Team Culture
Attending FABTECH as a group is a great way to reward hard work, build camaraderie, and ignite fresh motivation. A change of scenery, shared experiences, and the chance to learn together can strengthen bonds and reinforce a sense of purpose. Companies that invest in professional growth often see higher retention and a more engaged workforce.
