Get Ready for an Action-Packed IACMI Event in Indianapolis!
As the composites industry gears up to gather in Indianapolis from August 13-15, IACMI is excited to unveil a dynamic and comprehensive agenda.
Kicking off the event, IACMI leaders will present updates and opportunities for future IACMI-funded technical projects in collaboration with DOE. These projects are set to make significant strides in IACMI’s key focus areas: Wind Energy, Electric Vehicles, and Hydrogen Storage. Additionally, some projects will explore cross-cutting R&D elements that address the Circular Economy and Life Cycle Analysis, Digitalization and Industry 4.0, and Materials and Processes.
|
This is an excellent opportunity for IACMI members to connect, learn, and collaborate on the latest advancements and innovations. Unique opportunities include R&D Working Groups across the spectrum of composite materials and technologies, a tour of the Composites Manufacturing & Simulation Center at Purdue, and after-hours networking events at Victory Field (Indy’s minor league ballpark) and the Indianapolis Zoo.
.
BTW… If you haven’t booked a room at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, the deadline to get the discount rate has been extended to July 27.
