Robots are taking over trade shows. But not in a scary, sci-fi way. With the demand for AI and automation growing, events focused on this technology are naturally expanding in size<\/p>\n

Look atAutomate 2026<\/p>\n

North America\u2019s largest robotics and automation event was held June 22-25 atMcCormick Placein Chicago, bringing together more than 50,000 attendees\u2014the best attended Automate ever\u2014and 1,230 exhibitors. Last year, the show welcomed more than 45,000 visitors and 900-plus exhibitors in Detroit. That equals roughly an 11% increase in attendance year over year<\/p>\n

The 10th edition of the event filled 425,000 square feet of show floor space with robotics and automation technologies<\/p>\n

Hosted by theAssociation for Advancing Automation (A3), Automate showcases the latest advancements in robotics, artificial intelligence<\/a>, machine vision, motion control, and industrial automation<\/p>\n

\u201cAutomate 2026 was the strongest show we have ever had, not just in size, but in the quality of the technology, conversations, and connections taking place across the show floor,\u201d said Jeff Burnstein, president of A3. \u201cThe energy in Chicago was incredible. From humanoid robots and industrial AI to machine vision, motion control, autonomous mobile robots, and industrial automation systems, attendees saw firsthand how quickly this industry is moving and how much opportunity lies ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Fortune Business Insights, the global industrial automation market<\/a> size was estimated at $272.51 billion in 2025. The market is expected to rise from $299.21 billion in 2026 to $632.12 billion by 2034<\/p>\n
