The Annual Conference of Metallurgists (COM) brings together metallurgists and materials scientists from around the world. This year, COM 2024 returns to the Maritimes – for the first time since 1989. Professionals, academics, and students present their research and network with others in their field. COM 2024 will offer plenaries and keynote talks on issues critical to the science and engineering of Metallurgy and Materials, along with nine technical symposia. COM also organizes short courses and plant tours for attendees who want to dive deeper into a specific topic. “Our industry is facing tremendous challenges. So, it’s time to connect. It’s time to discuss.” – Dimitrios Filippou, Conference Chair. See you in beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia!
