MS&T brings together scientists, engineers, students, suppliers, and more to discuss current research and technical applications and to shape the future of materials science and technology. MS&T18 is organized in a joint partnership among five leading materials science-related societies-the American Ceramic Society, the Association for Iron & Steel Technology, ASM International, the Metallurgy and Materials Society of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, and TMS, with programming by NACE International.

ATC promotes the understanding of the cold regions of the earth through environmentally compatible design and construction, safe operation, maintenance and integrity of both offshore and onshore structures in these fragile regions. TMS is one of the sponsoring organizations working cooperatively to develop the technical program of the conference.

The TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition brings together more than 4,000 business leaders, engineers, scientists and other professionals in the materials field for an outstanding exchange of technical knowledge leading to solutions in the workplace and in society.
