Going against the trend of meeting and exhibition proliferation, MS&T '03 integrates and expands upon two seminal fall events: the ISS MECHANICAL WORKING AND STEEL PROCESSING CONFERENCE and the TMS FALL MEETING. The goal of MS&T '03 is not to change, confuse, or lose each individual meeting’s identity. Rather, the goal is to build an exceptional new conference by drawing upon the strengths of two established meetings within the context of a single event.

Exhibition Opportunities

A WIDE RANGE OF EXHIBITORS are already participating in the meeting. Exhibitors will have the opportunity to network with more than 700 decision makers eager to learn about new and established products and capabilities. Exhibitors can also be sure of reaching decision makers with real purchasing power. Based on historical trends,

• 85% of all conference attendees are involved in the decision-making processes at their organizations.
• 91%, or more, of attendees plan to purchase one or more products or services

Additionally, exhibitors will have the opportunity of exposure beyond the exhibition floor by spotlighting new product introductions at the New Product Showcase; also, event organizers will cultivate opportunities to speak with visiting media.

Advertising Opportunities

Your organization can easily impact attendees by advertising in the TMS member journal, JOM, and/or the ISS member journal, IRON & STEELMAKER. Special advertising packages are available for exhibitors and non-exhibitors alike.
