  • Opening Night Reception – CMTS VIPs, exhibitors, partners and media will celebrate the opening of CMTS 2019!
  • Late-Night Show Floor Social – Join attendees for the ‘late night at CMTS’ where exhibits are open until 8:00 PM so busy job shops don’t have to shut down to visit CMTS.
  • Conference Delegates Receptions – Conference delegates, speakers, advisors and sponsors are invited to enjoy this time to connect daily after their sessions wrap up.
  • Exhibitor Socials – Found amongst the exhibits, enjoy the elevated experience many exhibitors offer through hospitality events within their booth during event hours.

Are you a student?

Students are invited to discover and explore the world of advanced manufacturing and a brand new learning experience at CMTS 2019 on October 3, 2019. More than 200 high school students from the surrounding area will descend upon The International Centre to attend the SME Education Foundation Student Summit event at CMTS. The Student Summit event series delivers student-centric programming, hands-on challenges and competitions, technology demonstrations, and guided show-floor tours at SME conferences and trade shows across the country.

The Student Drone Challenge

The goal during the challenge is for students to fly, configure, reverse engineer, design, build and code drones. Student teams compete against each other while learning about integrating hardware and software systems. Most importantly, they’ll experience the clean and high-tech manufacturing process that is often overlooked while exploring the role of a mechanical engineer and drone pilot.

Guided Show-Floor Tour and Technology Demonstrations

Students and educators will discover new manufacturing technologies, processes, innovations and educational opportunities as they interact with manufacturing exhibitors during a guided tour of the CMTS show floor.

For information about speaking at or attending an SME Education Foundation Student Summit, please contact Sandy Wilton at swilton@sme.org.

Hybrid CLT offices are making tenants manage the base building like critical infrastructure

Hybrid CLT offices are making tenants manage the base building like critical infrastructure

Hybrid cross-laminated timber (CLT) is moving from a design talking point into an operations and risk-management item in commercial leasing, as occupiers chase lower embodied carbon and flexible floorplates while tightening controls on fire strategy, moisture, and fit-out interfaces. Structure Tone London’s Cam Hummerston argues tenants in hybrid CLT buildings need contractors who understand how base-build timber interacts with the office fit-out, including water management during construction and moisture detection once occupied. A concrete U.S. reference point comes from Bowdoin College’s 46,000-square-foot pair of mass-timber academic buildings, which Metropolis reported as Maine’s first commercial-grade mass timber projects, designed as all-electric and served by a shared heat-recovery chiller system for tight temperature and humidity control. Together, the sources indicate that procurement and facilities teams should treat mass timber as a package of structural, MEP, and monitoring requirements that must be written into leases, O&M documentation, and commissioning plans, not left to aesthetic intent.

  • 01The fastest practical way to de-risk mass timber for occupiers is to push fire strategy, moisture controls, and O&M deliverables into the lease and fit-out scope, because hybrid CLT performance depends on the base-build and tenant improvements working as one system.
  • 02A single headline carbon figure can hide scope differences: Structure Tone London cites 20–60% lower embodied carbon versus traditional construction for mass timber generally, while Metropolis reports a project team estimate of an 80% reduction versus a comparable steel superstructure at Bowdoin. Buyers should pin down what boundary each number uses before it becomes an RFP requirement.
  • 03If the use case has tight humidity or collection-grade environmental needs, Bowdoin’s choice of shared chilled and hot water produced by a heat-recovery chiller plus peak electric equipment is a useful precedent for how all-electric mass-timber buildings can be conditioned, and what that implies for metering, redundancy, and controls integration.
