Programming and Resources Announced for TMS2021 Virtual
“We can’t make it the same, but in some ways, we can make it better.” 2020 TMS President Tom Battle addresses the shift from an in-person to a virtual conference in a
new video that describes what you can expect from TMS2021 Virtual and the unique opportunities it offers. This is the first in a series of orientation videos planned to help TMS members get acquainted with participating in the first fully virtual installment of the TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition.
After watching this introductory video, explore the TMS2021 Virtual website to learn about some of the planned meeting highlights, including:
TMS2021 Virtual Plenary Speaker: Anne Lauvergeon is the Founder/CEO of ALP; Chair, École des Mines de Nancy; and former CEO of Areva S.A. Her plenary talk is titled “New Methodologies: Producing High-Quality Metal from Low-Grade Ores.”
2021 Light Metals Keynote Session: Sustainability in the Aluminum Supply Chain: Seven invited presenters from international aluminum companies and organizations will offer their perspectives at this special keynote session, which will include a live question and answer period with presenters at 11:35 a.m. EDT on Monday, March 15. Presentations begin at 8:30 a.m.
Honorary Symposia: Three special symposia honoring five distinguished members of the minerals, metals, and materials community are planned at TMS2021 Virtual. Join us in honoring Jiann-Yang Hwang, Alton T. Tabereaux, Halvor Kvande, Harald A. Øye, and Raymond Decker.
Special Lectures: Invited speakers and award lecturers will be featured throughout the week at TMS2021 Virtual. Preview some of their talks today.
Additional content is being added regularly to the
TMS2021 Virtual website, so check back often for updates.

Additive Manufacturing: On Alloy Design Webinar Series
Live Events: January 19, 21, and 26, 2021, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET
This three-part webinar series delves deeper into alloy design, a topic explored in
an earlier roundtable discussion. TMS is reconvening experts to discuss the design of new alloys suited for metal additive manufacturing (AM), with a focus on computational approaches and experimental approaches. The topics will cover important aspects of processing and postprocessing in alloy design. In particular, the presenters will discuss ICME-based alloy design and optimization for AM and special features of Laser AM processes that can be exploited to design new alloys.
Artificial Intelligence in Materials: Research, Design, and Manufacturing Webinar Series
Live Events: February 2, 4, 9, and 11, 2021, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET
This four-part webinar series will explore the newest developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and how they affect the materials science and engineering (MS&E) fields. This series will cover several topics, including AI for materials design and processing, deep learning for materials and manufacturing innovation, autonomous research, and AI in manufacturing.
