A First Look at TMS2025

Registration is now open for our biggest event of the year—the TMS 2025 Annual Meeting & Exhibition (TMS2025), which will be held from March 23–27, 2025, at the MGM Grand Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. More than 5,000 abstracts have been submitted to more than 100 symposia in ten technical tracks to make up the TMS2025 technical program. Presentation dates and times are now being finalized, and a preliminary technical program will be available soon. Here are a few more things you can look forward to at this year’s meeting:

Visit the TMS2025 website to register for the conference today. Please note that our Family Care Grant program, funded by the TMS Foundation, is now accepting applications from TMS2025 registrants who need help offsetting extra family-care expenses incurred as a result of attending the conference. Grants are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Every Dollar Counts: Twice
 
Mark your calendars for Giving Tuesday, December 3, and join the TMS Foundation in shaping the future of materials science and engineering! This year, your generosity goes twice as far: thanks to an incredible matching gift from three of our dedicated Board of Trustee members—Carl Cady, Dan Miracle, and Garry Warren—the first $22,000 donated will be matched dollar-for-dollar. That means your gift will have double the impact on supporting the next generation of talented materials scientists and engineers. In their own words, here is why these leaders give:

"From inspiring confidence in our promising young scientists and engineers, to enabling a richer family/career life balance, and supporting conference participation by international students, the TMS Foundation is expanding its most impactful signature programs. These deserve my generous support." – Dan Miracle

"The TMS Foundation has played such an important role in supporting the next generation of leaders in our community. I am so grateful that I could play a small part in making this happen." – Garry Warren

"I generously support the TMS Foundation because I believe recognizing and supporting our members shapes a brighter future for all. Join me in investing in the future of our Society." – Carl Cady

Your contribution helps provide scholarships, travel grants, and professional development opportunities for students and early-career professionals in the field. By supporting the TMS Foundation, you invest in a brighter future for materials science and the critical role it plays in addressing global challenges. Learn about the impact of your donation and plan now to contribute on December 3.
