Co-Located Conferences Join TMS2025

The TMS 2025 Annual Meeting & Exhibition (TMS2025), to be held March 23–27 in Las Vegas, Nevada, will feature two co-located conferences: the Fifth Summit on Diversity in the Minerals, Metals, and Materials Professions (DMMM5) and REWAS 2025: Circular Economy for the Energy Transition. Both events will be open to all attendees of TMS2025, and both will be accepting abstracts through July 1, 2024. In total, more than 100 symposia are planned in 11 topic areas at TMS2025. View a complete listing of planned symposia and submit your abstract today through the Technical Program section of the TMS2025 website.

 

DMMM5 will build on a decade of work cultivating an inclusive and diverse field. This installment of the symposium will highlight the progress and lessons learned of the past decade, while identifying tools and opportunities for continuing future progress. Four sessions are planned for the 2025 summit on the following topics:

• A Decade of DMMM Impact
• Physical & Cognitive Diversity
• Taking Actions to Continue Progress
• Personal & Professional Development

REWAS 2025 is a unique, transdisciplinary conference that covers the latest technical and societal developments enabling sustainability within our global economy with a special focus on Recycling and Waste management. This eighth installment in the REWAS series will focus on the topic of Circular Economy for the Energy Transition. The following REWAS 2025 symposia are now accepting abstracts:

• REWAS 2025: Automation and Digitalization in Recycling Processes
• REWAS 2025: Sustainable End-of-Life Management and Recycling Solutions for Batteries, Wind Turbines, and Photovoltaics
• REWAS 2025: Sustainable Practices in Strategic and Critical Raw Materials: Exploring Supply Chain Resilience and Recycling Innovations
• Decarbonization and Sustainability in Aluminum Primary Processing: Joint Session of Aluminum Reduction and REWAS 2025
• Recycling and Sustainability in Cast Shop Technology: Joint Session with REWAS 2025

Learn more about the conference and submit your abstract.

JUST ANNOUNCED: The 5th Bauxite Residue Valorization and Best Practices Conference will also be joining the TMS2025 technical program, as part of our extensive Light Metals technical programming track. This event will continue the conference series that started in 2015, giving the floor to the most creative, innovative, thought-provoking ideas regarding bauxite residue valorization. Works are invited at different technology readiness levels, including industrial applications, and selected papers will be invited for submission to the Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy. Learn more about this and other Light Metals programming planned for TMS2025.
