Taste of Rosemont Opening Night Reception

This opening night Welcome Reception is the perfect opportunity for all event participants to meet and greet one another before the exhibit hall opens and the event officially kicks off on Wednesday morning. Pick up your name badge, grab a beverage and enjoy some casual face-to-face conversations.

Pub Night Networking Reception

The ASSEMBLY Show is excited to bring back 'Pub Night' for our Wednesday evening networking reception. Attendees and exhibitors will gather in the adjoining ballroom to kick back and relax over a pint, chat over sliders and make new connections while playing fun backyard games.

This social environment will allow participants to meet new manufacturing professionals and continue to build relationships with existing business partners in a fun and exciting atmosphere. PLUS - SMTA participants will be joining us for 'Pub Night' for additional networking and comradery!

Morning Mingle & Breakfast

Looking for a productive networking experience that will kick off your day? Join us on the final morning of The ASSEMBLY Show for complimentary continental breakfast and coffee right on the exhibit floor. This is one of your last chances to network and make some final business connections.

New Products Awards Presentation
