AFS President Jeff Cook gives opening remarks at the 2017 AFS Southeast Regional
AFS president Jeff Cook and AFS CEO Doug Kurkul kicked off the 84th AFS Southeast Regional on Thursday, March 23 in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. More than 150 attended the conference which featured table-top displays, a foundry tour and expert speakers from AFS and the metalcasting industry.
With continued optimism about the economy and the future of metalcasting, this was a beneficial event for AFS Chapters and their members, Cook said.
“The Tennessee chapter put on a great Southeast Regional Conference,” Cook said. “Their extensive programming covered everything from Silica to 3-D printing and is just another fine example of AFS Chapters excelling for their members.”
2017 Southeast Regional Presentations included:
On Friday, March 24, attendees had the opportunity to tour the Tennessee Museum of Aviation & Mountain Mold and Die.
Each year the AFS Birmingham, Piedmont and Tennessee chapters rotate organizing the Southeast Regional.
