Professionals from across the worldwide metalcasting supply chain will delve into technical innovations, explore machinery up close, network with peers, and do business at CastExpo 2022, April 23-26, 2022, in Columbus, Ohio.

Hosted every three years by the American Foundry Society, CastExpo is North America’s largest metalcasting trade show and congress, drawing thousands of metalcasters, industry suppliers, designers and buyers, and students to this immersive event exploring all facets of metalcasting – or foundry – production.

The 3.5-day show is renowned for its technical sessions, where the latest research into foundry science and technology is unveiled. It’s also famous for its bustling exhibit floor, where industry suppliers demonstrate full-scale equipment, consumables, and services. Top foundries show off their capabilities to OEM representatives in the Cast in North America pavilion, which combines exhibits from metalcasters with a truly unique set of training sessions made just for designers and buyers of metal castings.

Two prominent public speakers – famed opinion pollster Scott Rasmussen and best-selling author and leadership expert Mike Abrashoff – will share their insights during separate keynote addresses open to all CastExpo attendees. Additionally, the legendary Hoyt Memorial Lecture, one of the metalcasting industry’s most influential and important annual addresses since its establishment in 1938, will be presented by industry veteran Jean Bye.

“In total, CastExpo will deliver more than 100 sessions covering technical and management topics across all major alloys and processes, classes from the AFS Institute, presentations from leading companies, panel discussions, student research presentations, and much more,” said AFS CEO Doug Kurkul.

Special events include the Annual Banquet, where AFS will recognize leaders and visionaries with some of the industry’s highest honors, the Volunteer Leadership Awards Luncheon, and networking events, including several for shared interest groups such as Future Leaders of Metalcasting and Women in Metalcasting.
