Trade shows have always been a cornerstone to industry—bringing together professionals, innovators, and thought leaders to share the latest advancements, exchange ideas, and forge valuable connections.

In this edition of Machine Vision Insider, we are spotlighting three upcoming events. First, our own virtual event, Machine Vision Summit 2026, offers a cutting-edge virtual platform to explore new technologies and insights in a format that's accessible from anywhere. This event takes place online May 20-21.

Then from June 22-25, A3's Automate 2026, will be held in Chicago to unite diverse automation technologies, including AI and humanoid robotics, demonstrating how innovation across disciplines continues to shape the future. Our Innovators Awards will be presented on June 22 on the show floor stage. Also, A3 will present the Joseph F. Engelberger awards to this year's recipients at the show on June 24. See the main story below.

Then, the Vision Stuttgart 2026 show, slated for Oct. 6-8, will offer a chance to engage directly with the global machine vision community and stay on the forefront of industry trends and breakthroughs.

Looking forward to meeting you at one or all of these events.

As always, I can be reached at [email protected].
