Who We Are

In 1963, the Syndicate International du Décolletage (SID) was created to bring organizations together within the machining industry. This year, as we gather in the great gateway city of Chicago, Illinois, we will experience the robust innovation and legacy that continues to shape our industry. It is an honor to invite you to join me June 8-12 at SID 2025.

Chicago has long been known as the connector of the West and this year; we will be connecting with fascinating manufacturers from around the world. This organization is unlike any other as it brings together best practices and cultural experiences while helping to develop business relationships and friendships that span generations. The results of which we see in our day-to-day businesses.

The 2025 program is set with a focus on education and ingenuity and perfectly placed in June -one of the most beautiful months to visit Chicago. With mild temperatures, bright skies and long daylight, our program is designed for both delegates and partners, to leave with not only a great experience but also an education that drives our never-ending high-tech trade.

I encourage you to join us in Chicago as we welcome you, your partners as well as family.

Highest regards,

Ron Bracalente
