Established in 1974, the Wichita Industrial Trade Show (WITS) has become a significant marketplace in the heartland of Mid-America for buyers, manufacturing sources, industrial material, machinery and equipment. The show offers a dual opportunity for exhibitors from all sectors of our industrial community to present their products and services and for professionals of all levels to view the exhibits.
  In 2001, the Wichita Industrial Trade Show had 522 booths with the attendance of about 7,000 people. The next show will be Tuesday October 16, Wednesday October 17, and Thursday October 18, 2007.
  The National Association of Purchasing Management - Wichita, sponsors the Wichita Industrial Trade Show (WITS) as a non-profit fund-raiser to support association and community projects. Specifically, moneys from the show are used for scholarships at colleges and universities, various educational materials and sponsoring professional seminars.
  Show management is provided solely by volunteers, employees of various companies in the community, who know how important it is to have an opportunity to keep abreast of the latest advancements in automation technologies, which will allow manufacturing competition throughout the world. The WITS management and exhibitors are committed to the common goal of making our community a better place to live, work, and enjoy.
