After 2 Years of Virtual TITANIUM USA to be held in Person in Orlando, October 9-12, 2022

The International Titanium Association (ITA) will host the 38th annual TITANIUM USA conference and exhibition Oct. 9-12, 2022 at the Rosen Shingle Creek Golf Resort in Orlando, FL.

Exhibition booth reservations, floor-plan layout and information on conference registration and hotel bookings will be offered during the first quarter of this year. Visit the event website at www.TitaniumUSA.org for details. There is also a “call for abstracts,” for those interested in making a presentation at the event.

Depending on ongoing health concerns from the Covid-19 pandemic, this will be the first in-person titanium conference since the 2019 gathering, which was held at the Mobile Convention Center in Alabama. Jennifer Simpson, the ITA executive director, said that for the last two years, Covid-19 vaccines remained a point of optimism. “Once we were all vaccinated, the thinking went that life could go back to ‘normal’. Now that reality has shown otherwise, we can only do our best to keep taking that next one step forward.” Plans for the USA conference in Florida later this year are part of that “back to normal” process for the titanium industry.

The October conference program in Florida will feature global aerospace industry forecasts from Boeing and Airbus executives, speaker panels on world titanium industry demand and supply trends, and presentations on titanium raw materials, industrial applications; manufacturing and medical developments, titanium powder and additive manufacturing. Additional details on TITANIUM USA will be posted on the ITA website in the coming months.

TITANIUM USA 2022 is designed to suit the needs of titanium industry professionals, suppliers, engineers, designers, metallurgists, customers and stakeholders. The gathering offers a full spectrum of information on the latest business, technology and market trends and developments in the global titanium industry. It provides an excellent forum for expert discussions, continuing education, and networking opportunities.

Current ITA membership is comprised of more than 100 organizations and over 1,000 individual members worldwide. Based in Denver, Colorado, the ITA is a non-profit, membership-based, international trade association dedicated to the titanium metal industry. Established in 1984, the ITA’s mission is to connect the public interested in using titanium with specialists from across the globe who can offer sales and technical assistance.

Working through its extensive membership resources, the ITA seeks to expand the knowledge base for the metal, providing technical literature and sponsoring seminars and conferences. For nearly three decades the organization has instructed thousands of professionals in all aspects of titanium usage. The ITA educates engineers, designers and business executives on titanium’s superior properties in critical industry applications, and explains how those properties can be exploited to enhance products and services. The ITA also looks to advance ideas in research, design, metallurgy and engineering. ITA conferences serve as forums to cultivate the exchange of ideas and support a diverse, dynamic, global industry.
