This coming week I’ll be attending the Additive Manufacturing Strategies conference in New York.
This is the eighth annual such event, and I actually haven’t been to any of the prior events. What’s it all about? They explain:
“Additive Manufacturing Strategies is a 100% in-person event February 4-6, 2025 in New York City. This industry touchstone conference brings together AM stakeholders from all over the world. AMS includes panels and keynotes on topics most critical in the fast-growing world of additive manufacturing. Bringing together the industry’s leaders in a contained networking environment makes AMS the place for startups to access capital, for financial institutions and investors to sharpen their radars, and for the AM industry to focus on the business of AM.”
They emphasize the “in person only” aspect because the goal is to ensure there are many opportunities to meet and discuss additive manufacturing strategies.
This event is a bit different from my usual road trips, which are typically large 3D print trade shows. Instead, the AMS conference is a series of speakers and panels discussing different topics.
The topics range widely and include transportation, healthcare, services, automation, finance, restoration, commercialization, mass manufacturing, materials, and much more.
As far as I can tell, there are over 110 speakers at this three-day event, and among them are a large number of notables from the additive manufacturing world. Speakers include the CEOs of Stratasys, 3D Systems, Supernova, Caracol, Seurat, Materialise, Carbon, Desktop Metal, Formlabs, nTop, Markforged, Authentise, Shapeways, and many more. A considerable number of industry analysts are also set to present at the event.
I’m looking forward to attending the event and connecting with these folks and anyone else. If you happen to be attending, feel free to look me up or contact me here if you’d like to have a chat.
If you’re in the New York City area next week and are involved in additive manufacturing, you might consider attending this interesting event.
