The American Foundry Society has announced Milwaukee, Wisconsin, will host Metalcasting Congress 2024, one of the largest foundry trade events in North America.
Established in 1903, Metalcasting Congress is AFS’s annual meeting and industry showcase. This important event on the metalcasting calendar features exhibits from foundries and industry suppliers, technical presentations and educational courses, keynote speeches, and awards for leaders and innovators in metalcasting.
This is the seventh time the show will be held in Milwaukee since 1903.
“Milwaukee’s rich manufacturing culture, paired with the many foundries and industry suppliers who call Wisconsin home, made Milwaukee a perfect choice to host Metalcasting Congress,” said AFS CEO Doug Kurkul. “AFS is eager to bring the economic power of the $44 billion metalcasting industry to Milwaukee in 2024.”
Several thousand people are expected to attend along with several hundred exhibitors. Metalcasters, suppliers, end-users, OEM representatives, students, researchers, and academics make up the bulk of Metalcasting Congress attendees. Metalcasting Congress 2024 takes place April 23-25, 2024, at the Wisconsin Center, 400 W. Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee, WI.
CastExpo 2022, a major trade show and Congress held by AFS once every three years, will return live to Columbus, Ohio, on April 23-26, 2022. Exhibit sales and registration will open later this year. In 2023, Cleveland, Ohio, will host Metalcasting Congress on April 25-27, 2023.
