The 9th International Trends in Welding Research Conference will be proudly sponsored by ASM International. The conference is five days of programming that is very technically intensive. The programs will focus on both the fundamentals and applied topics that are related to joining and welding.
There will be top colleagues and researchers from all over the world at the conference. They will be from the fields of academia, government, and industry so there will be plenty of expertise and new ideas to go around. Welders will enjoy presentations of the latest modeling developments and experimental techniques being tried out in the field.
The abstract deadline to sign up to share your paper in this huge conference is September 12, 2011. You can go to asm.confex.com to sign up online to submit your abstract and be recognized.
Why would a welder want to attend this conference? They will be able to participate in technical programming that is comprehensive and focused on fundamentals as well as applied joining and welding. They will learn about the latest research in modeling and experimental perspectives. They will get to meet the who's who of welding, the experts of more than 25 countries who will be there to share what they know. They will be able to take advantage of a huge variety of recreational and social activities. And they will get to stay at the premier resort in Chicago, the Hilton Chicago/Indian Lakes Resort in Chicago, Illinois during the conference which is scheduled for June 4-8, 2012. You'll find more information at www.asminternational.org in the coming months.
Registration to attend is currently scheduled to begin in November 2011. There will be group discounts as well as early bird specials. There will be presentations in many areas, including weldability, residual stress and distortion, friction stir welding, microstructure, and many others. Keynote speakers and over 200 technical papers will be presented. Those who make welding power supplies, manual welding equipment, automatic welders, analytical instruments, or other supplies, or those who design welding software are welcome to exhibit at the conference. Tabletop and customized sponsorship info can be found on the ASM International website. The price to attend the conference is set at $139 as a special event rate.
