The 22nd edition of the esteemed International Forgemasters Meeting (IFM) is set to take place in Milan, Italy, from May 27th to 30th, 2024. This prestigious event is being organized by the Italian Metallurgical Association in collaboration with the Italian Steel Enterprises Association.

Regarded as the global pinnacle for technical advancements in the field, the IFM has had to adapt due to the global pandemic. Initially scheduled for 2020 in China, the conference has been rescheduled to convene in Italy this year.

The IFM prides itself on its diverse executive committee, which comprises representatives from large forging enterprises and organizations worldwide. Notably, since 2018, the committee has welcomed two distinguished members from China, marking a significant milestone in the conference’s history.

Participation in the IFM offers an unparalleled opportunity to gain comprehensive insights into the world’s free forging industry. Attendees can expect to learn about the industry’s technical evolution, market trends, and its past, present, and future trajectory. This conference serves as an invaluable platform for enterprises to glean knowledge that can inform their strategic planning and policy-making processes. It is indeed a unique occasion for learning, networking, and exchanging ideas.
