Check-in is located in the main lobby of the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland. Add-on programs such as the Parts Cleaning Workshop and Opening Night Party require separate registration and fees.

PMTS was founded in 2001 and is a biennial event held in odd-numbered years. Since its debut, the show has grown to become, in the organizer's words, the largest and most respected trade event in the precision machining industry. It is presented by the Precision Machined Products Association (PMPA) and produced by Gardner Business Media, whose metalworking brands (including Production Machining and Modern Machine Shop) support the event. PMTS is held in Cleveland, Ohio, and is co-located with the Parts Cleaning Conference.
