"The POWDERMET Conference & Exhibition is one of the best organized conferences that we participated in during the last twelve months. The events organized on the show floor to increase booth traffic were very effective. The conference is a good opportunity to network with key leaders within the industry. We plan to continue participating in future POWDERMET exhibitions." —Deepak Madan, Magnesium Elektron
