The Institute organises a range of events which are ideal opportunities for networking as well as finding out the latest state of the art, updating your technical knowledge, or broadening your materials interests. Specialist conferences are mainly organised through the Institute’s technical divisions, while our Local Societies network provides a series of lectures, visits and social events across the UK.

Institute conferences

Institute events bring you face-to-face with materials experts, deliver focused information, promote technical advances and provide a vehicle for continuous learning, evaluation and adaptation. Institute members will normally get a member discount to attend co-sponsored events – please enquire when registering.
