The Laser Institute of America’s second-annual Laser Additive Manufacturing Workshop in Houston drew 50 percent more attendees as well as more sponsors and vendors than the debut show of 2009.
The May 11-12 conference gathered 137 attendees from 11 countries, as well as 22 vendors, to hear carefully selected presentations about cutting-edge techniques for the aerospace, automotive, oil and gas and other industries.
“We were very pleased with the second LAM workshop,” said LIA Executive Director Peter Baker. The conference “emphasizes LIA’s commitment to providing end users and manufacturers with the practical knowledge and information they need to use lasers productively and profitably. Keynote speaker Bill Steen of the University of Liverpool commented that it was well organized with an extraordinary level of friendliness of the participants who were really interested in progressing their business.”
