ASM International ASM International connects materials professionals and their organizations to the resources necessar

ASM International was founded in 1913 and became known as the American Society for Metals. Today ASM International is the world's largest association of materials-focused engineers, scientists, technicians, educators, and students. A member and volunteer based organization, ASM International serves as a central resource that gathers the latest applied information from the field and disseminates it back to industry, academia, and government through published content, classes, conferences, expositions, and local chapter engagement. By acting as a catalyst for vigorous professional activities, ASM International fuels a passionate sense of community, energizes members to aspire to new levels of success and satisfaction, advances the development of materials, and ultimately elevates the importance of our professions.

Mat-E is here, and we want to show you what it can do.

Unlike general-purpose AI tools, Mat-E draws exclusively from ASM's curated, peer-reviewed content and links every response directly to its source.

No guesswork. No unverified answers. Just trusted materials science knowledge, built for the way you work.

Join us on October 7 at 1:00 PM EDT for a live introduction and demonstration of Mat-E.

We'll cover how it works, what makes it different, and show it in action across real use cases: material selection, failure analysis, alloy comparisons, phase diagrams, and more.

Aerial silk dancers serving drinks from the sky. Geodesic dome showdowns. Poster sessions on the expo floor. New faces and old friends reconnecting.

IMAT 2026's Materials in Motion Networking Event was one for the books.

DomesDay delivered as always, with student teams from global universities competing to showcase their best geodesic dome models.

This is what makes IMAT more than a conference. It's a community. And Québec City is showing out. 🙌
