A Red-Carpet Event for the 'Stars' of Materials Science and Engineering

From a red carpet to a professional emcee, the 2013 TMS-AIME Awards Banquet will have all the elements of a Hollywood-style awards ceremony, shining a spotlight on the hard work and dedication of the ‘stars’ of the materials world. This memorable evening will honor TMS’s award-winning materials scientists and engineers from all phases of their careers and working in all aspects of the field.

Picture this: Participants will attend a cocktail reception before entering the Lila Cockrell Theater for the grand awards ceremony, featuring a professional emcee and high-quality presentation. After award winners have been recognized for their accomplishments, attendees will proceed to the Grand Hyatt Hotel, where they may step out onto a red carpet for photographs if they wish. Walking into the grand ballroom, guests will be seated for an elegant, three-course dinner. Live entertainment will be provided by a local band, and the evening will conclude with an elaborate dessert bar and another chance to network and unwind. This gala event will provide all participants—both award winners and guests—with the ‘star’ treatment they deserve.

Tickets must be purchased in advance for this event through the TMS2013 registration form. Tickets will include admission to the cocktail reception, awards presentations, and three-course dinner with wine and dessert. Both the theater and hotel are fully accessible for handicapped guests.

The TMS-AIME Awards Banquet includes presentations of awards from both TMS and the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME). TMS is a member society of AIME.

Pre-registration is required for this limited ticket event.
