The Materials Science & Technology (MS&T) conference series is a premier forum for fostering technical innovation at the intersection of materials science, engineering, and application. Each year, the event brings together scientists, engineers, students, suppliers, and business leaders to discuss current research and technical applications and to shape the future of materials science and technology.

The technical program of MS&T addresses structure, properties, processing, and performance across the materials community. Its exhibition showcases a wide variety of equipment and services to industries such as automotive, aerospace, instrumentation, medical, oilfield, and energy. This comprehensive coverage ensures that attendees can explore the latest advancements in materials technology.

MS&T is organized by a joint partnership of leading materials science-related societies. Past meetings have been held in various locations across the United States, including Pittsburgh (2024), Columbus (2023), Salt Lake City (2016), Montreal (2013), and Chicago (2003). The conferences have attracted significant participation from both domestic and international participants. For instance, MS&T24 in Pittsburgh in 2024 is expected to feature an exhibition with a wide variety of equipment and services from different industries.

The MS&T conference series has a rich history dating back to 1983. Each year's meeting offers a unique opportunity for attendees to network with professionals from diverse backgrounds. The conferences have grown significantly over the years, with MS&T24 in Pittsburgh anticipated to draw thousands of participants from around the world.
