The 31st Heat Treating Society Conference and Exposition (Heat Treat 2021) is scheduled for September 14-16 in St. Louis. This bi-annual, can’t-miss event provides an excellent opportunity for the heat treating community to meet, exchange information, and conduct business.

In addition to our standing colocation with AGMA’s Motion & Power Technology Expo (MPTE), we are excited to also be co-locating with ASM’s NEW Annual Meeting, “International Materials, Applications, and Technologies (IMAT)” Conference and Expo. Heat Treat conference registration includes full access to IMAT 2021. Co-locating with IMAT 2021 will provide access to additional exhibitors and more than 400 technical presentations on a wide variety of materials-related topics.
This year’s Heat Treat organizing committee did an excellent job of ensuring that the latest research and development is included for a high level of technical content on a wide variety of important topics, including Atmosphere Technology, Additive Manufacturing, Internet of Things, Nitriding, Vacuum Technology, Applied Technology, Quenching and Cooling, etc.
The Heat Treat Expo, co-located with IMAT and MPTE, is the place to be, featuring more than 500 companies. Activities on the show floor include a VIP guided industry tour on Tuesday, Solutions Center presentations, welcome reception with exhibitors, the Fluxtrol Student Research Competition, and the HTS Strong Bar Competition.
We hope attendees will join us during our premiere networking event, “The Heat is On,” at the Anheuser Busch Biergarten, scheduled for Wednesday, September 15. This special evening will feature live music, a tempting array of locally inspired food, craft beer, and a few “hot surprises.” Attendees will have the opportunity to network with Heat Treat, IMAT, and MPTE attendees.
We know that things might look a little different this year, but, rest assured that your health and safety are always our top priorities, and the ASM team continues to closely monitor all federal, state, and local guidelines. We are confident that we can safely come together and are taking all appropriate measures to ensure a healthy and successful in-person conference and expo.
Let’s get back to business! I hope you will join me at Heat Treat 2021, a great location to reconnect, make new contacts, share information, and collaborate with attendees and exhibitors from around the world in the global heat treating industry. We look forward to seeing you in St. Louis in September.
