The NIMS Student Summit at IMTS – The International Manufacturing Technology Show 2010 will combine an interactive orientation and Career Development Center (CDC) with a dynamic self-guided tour of the technology and manufacturing exhibition. IMTS is being held September 13-18, 2010, at Chicago’s McCormick Place.
