TMS 2005: Fundamental Science, Emerging Technology, Practical Application—Where the Connection is Made!

The 2005 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition is the place where you can connect the latest breakthroughs in materials research, the most important technological advances, and the newest product developments to solutions for current issues in your workplace.

TMS 2005 will feature more than 50 symposia and 2,300 individual presentations addressing theoretical and applied technology that impacts current and future advances in the development and production of traditional materials including primary metals such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium, superalloys, and precious metals as well as downstream processing including casting, surface engineering, forming, and joining. But, TMS 2005 is also the event that connects you to the most dynamic and emerging areas of research, including nanomaterials, biomaterials, and other functional materials applications in transportation, electronics and more.

TMS 2005 offers something for everyone, including special sessions, industry updates and discussions, a technology and product exhibit, lectures by notable authorities in their area of expertise, continuing education courses, and countless social and networking opportunities with 3,500 of your colleagues from more than 60 nations.

Highlights to look for include:

• The Core Technical Program: The largest and most diverse to be assembled by the society to date.
• Plenary talks from distinguished speakers, who will be featured at
  • The session/group discussion Role of Technology in the Global Primary Aluminum Industry, both Today and in the Future. Presidents and CEOs from the world’s top aluminum producers will participate.
  • The 6th Global Innovations Symposium on Trends in Materials and Manufacturing Technologies for Transportation Industries. Plenary presentations by top-level directors from General Motors Corporation are planned.
  • The Biological Materials Science and Engineering Symposium.
  • The Computational Thermodynamics and Phase Transformations Symposium.
• Short Courses: A menu of 6 continuing education courses to enhance your technical and professional expertise.
• Industrial Exhibition: Product and service providers will display their wares to an audience of more than 3,500 research and management professionals, and at the same time allows those 3,500 individuals the opportunity for side-by-side and hands-on comparisons of potential solutions to their most pressing needs and problems.
• Myriad Social Functions and Honorary Presentations
• Award-Winning Lectures
• And much, much more! (Like the TMS Foundation's Raffle of Calloway golf clubs and a $500 cash prize, as just one for instance.)
