IIM ATM
The 79th Annual Technical Meeting of The Indian Institute of Metals, 2025, IIM ATM 2025:
The flagship annual event, IIM ATM 2025, is a unique platform wherein the relevant people representing all significant sectors of Industry, Academia, and R&D institutes from all parts of India and abroad join together to deliberate on recent advancements and current initiatives. The participants from different disciplines get an opportunity to share ideas and their rich experiences in the fields of their specialisation. Various themes will cover all the crucial and emerging topics of interest for the materials community.
Mark your calendars for the 79th Annual Technical Meeting of The Indian Institute of Metals (IIM-ATM), from December 3 to 6, 2025. This event will provide an unparalleled opportunity to delve into various subjects, including mineral processing, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, development and characterisation of advanced materials, critical minerals, additive manufacturing, and other advanced traditional manufacturing technologies, digitalisation, and sustainability practices.
In addition to the enriching discussions, the event will host a dynamic technical exhibition. This platform will showcase the activities, products, and innovative initiatives of enterprises across the metal, materials, critical minerals, manufacturing, and materials characterisation sectors. Whether you represent a large corporation or a small-scale enterprise, this exhibition will provide invaluable opportunities for networking and discovering the latest methodologies and techniques shaping our industry’s landscape.
