Highlights from TMS2024

4,115 attendees representing 58 countries gathered to hear talks at 102 symposia and meet with 65 exhibiting companies at the TMS 2024 Annual Meeting & Exhibition, held March 3–7, in Orlando, Florida, USA. Among the meeting’s many highlights was the all-conference plenary session, Translating Scientific Discovery into Impactful Innovation to Solve Critical Materials Challenges: A Panel Discussion, featuring three experts representing industry, academia, and government: Thomas Lograsso, Robert Miles, and Helena Khazdozian.
 
Also at TMS2024, leadership transitioned from 2023 TMS President Brad Boyce to 2024 TMS President Srini Chada, who addressed attendees at the TMS-AIME Awards Ceremony and was installed as 2024 TMS president on the last day of the conference. 
 
Photos from the meeting will soon be available on Flickr, and more extensive coverage of the meeting will be available in the June issue of JOM: The Magazine. For an overview of the week’s events, read the TMS2024 News onsite daily newsletter.
