SUMMARY:Additive Manufacturing and Advanced Materials (AM²) Hub Conference
DESCRIPTION:Discover the Future of Making Things – Right Here in Virginia! \nWhy AM²? Why Here?Join us at Virginia’s Additive Manufacturing and Advanced Materials (AM²) Hub Conference—an event designed to connect and grow the region’s manufacturing ecosystem and spark conversations that answer exactly those questions. \nWhat to Expect:Connect with industry leaders who are leveraging additive manufacturing and advanced materials to transform how they design\, create\, and innovate. Hear firsthand how these technologies are creating real-world impact—and where they think opportunity is headed next. \nExplore the real challenges facing manufacturers today—from tech adoption to workforce gaps—and get practical insights through expert 1-on-1 sessions and collaborative peer breakouts. \nGo Behind the Scenes of Innovation at Virginia Tech\nAs part of the conference experience\, attendees will have the opportunity to tour several of Virginia Tech’s innovative research facilities. These guided visits offer a closer look at the labs leading advancements in additive manufacturing and advanced materials\, including: \n\nDREAMS Lab (Design\, Research and Education for Additive Manufacturing Systems)\nKroehling Advanced Materials Foundry\nSMART Lab (Smart Manufacturing Analytics Research & Technology)\nISE Learning Factory\nLAMPS (Laboratory for Advanced Manufacturing Processes and Sensing)\nSoft Materials and Structures Lab\nManufacturing and Tribology Laboratory\nTallon Ceramic Lab and Advanced Manufacturing Team Characterization Lab\nPolymer Composite and Materials Laboratory\n\nWhether you’re a manufacturer\, policy maker\, or industry cheerleader\, this is the moment to connect\, collaborate\, and push forward the future of manufacturing. \nDon’t miss it. The future is being built here. \nEvening reception to follow. More details will be shared following registration. \nRegistration is coming soon. \nAM² Hub Visit for IperionX Tour in South Boston\n\nIn collaboration with the AM² Conference\, join us on September 16th and 17th for the Future Manufacturing Workforce Workshop at The Inn at Virginia Tech. \nRegister here. \nThis is not a sit-and-listen session—we’re asking for your voice to help identify real workforce needs and guide the development of a white paper that will directly inform Virginia Tech’s curriculum. Your input matters\, and your participation will help ensure we create programs that truly prepare students for tomorrow’s challenges. We need your voice. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this important conversation—we’re shaping a document\, and your perspective is essential. \nBy convening industry and federal partners for critical discussions\, we’re ensuring that future manufacturing engineers have the interdisciplinary skill set to meet ever-evolving industry needs. \nThroughout the workshop\, we will: \nDefine Today’s Workforce — Identify current manufacturing jobs\, required skills\, and hiring challenges.\nShape the Future — Discuss the skills and competencies needed for the next generation of manufacturing jobs.\nGain Insights — Hear from keynote speaker Matthew Sermon on defense industry manufacturing workforce needs.\nExpand Our Network — Connect with peers and industry leaders at an evening social.\nEngage in Collaboration — Participate in an interactive workshop\, followed by dinner at Lane Stadium.\nExplore Innovation — Tour Virginia Tech’s cutting-edge manufacturing research facilities\, meet with faculty and student researchers\, and tour MELD Manufacturing facilities. \nSeptember 16: Full day workshop\, with dinner at the University Club overlooking Lane Stadium.\nSeptember 17: Half day\, including research presentations and additional lab tours.
