SME can help you keep up with advancing technology, maintain your innovative edge, develop your workforce, help you close the skills gap, connect you with the manufacturing industry, expand your network, and much more. Manufacturing comes with challenges; SME offers solutions.

“Ask Me Anything Manufacturing” (#AMAmfg)

The Ask Me Anything Manufacturing (#AMAmfg) series, presented by SME in conjunction with CMTS, provides a forum for technology users to ask questions of and get advice from leading experts in key technology areas. Sessions are are held as live webinars or face-to-face onsite at CMTS. Webinars are recorded and will be posted on this page soon after the sessions are held.

Looking to network?

CMTS includes several signature networking events where the industry comes together to connect, share and celebrate manufacturing. Maximize your face-to-face opportunities to connect with fellow attendees, speakers, industry leaders and exhibitors.

  • 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.

J.P. Morgan flags diverging multifamily conditions across U.S. markets in mid-2026 outlook

J.P. Morgan flags diverging multifamily conditions across U.S. markets in mid-2026 outlook

Orange County's multifamily market is projected to remain resilient through 2026, with overall vacancy edging up only modestly and workforce housing keeping Class B and C vacancy well below Class A levels. Interest rate uncertainty is pushing owner-operators toward shorter loan terms and variable-rate strategies, while rising operational costs are prompting tighter liquidity management. The asset-class divide—driven largely by concentrated new supply in submarkets like Tustin—is the defining dynamic of the market this year.

  • 01Class B/C vacancy in Orange County stood at 2.9% in Q1 2026, less than half the 6.5% recorded for Class A assets, according to Moody's data cited by JPMorgan Chase.
  • 02Overall vacancy is forecast to rise only slightly, from 4.5% to 4.7%, with effective rents projected to grow 0.9% year over year, matching 2025's pace.
  • 03Rate uncertainty is steering multifamily borrowers toward three-to-five-year loan terms or variable-rate extensions rather than long-term refinancing locks.
