WorldPM2020 Congress Program Launches

Join the powder metallurgy (PM) industry for WorldPM2020, the World Congress on Powder Metallurgy & Particulate Materials, in Montréal, Canada, June 27–July 1, 2020, at the Montréal Convention Center. Held only once every six years in North America, WorldPM2020 will be the largest global hub of PM; metal additive manufacturing (AM); and tungsten, refractory and hardmaterials technology transfer of the year.

Conference attendees will have access to over 185 combined hours of technical content when combined with the co-located conferences Additive Manufacturing with Powder Metallurgy (AMPM2020) and the International Conference on Tungsten, Refractory & Hardmaterials (Tungsten2020).

Conference attendees can expect:

• More than 140 sessions and nearly 500 technical presentations between the three co-located conferences
• The world’s largest trade exhibit featuring over 150 exhibitors of PM; metal AM; and tungsten, refractory, and hardmaterials equipment, powder suppliers, and component manufacturers
• Networking with over 1,200 attendees from around the globe
• Even more time in the trade exhibit—this year’s conference features two networking luncheons adjacent to the trade exhibit.
• An optional Metal AM Tutorial focusing on basic information and guidance on the use of metal powders, including safety, handling, and storage to maximize the quality of the powders and subsequent performance of the consolidated parts.
• And more!

“Montréal is North America's number one host city for international events,” stated James P. Adams, Executive Director/CEO, Metal Powder Industries Federation. “Combined with the region’s strong technology center, delegates should leave Montréal with new ideas, industry contacts, and lasting memories.”
