The Advanced Materials Show 2023, which took place on October 3^rd & 4^th at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, welcomed over 2,600 attendees and hosted 100 industry leading exhibitors. This industry leafing event dedicated to Advanced Materials Technology showcased cutting-edge innovations and fostered collaboration and networking within the industry that will pave the way for future advancements.

Spread over two days The Advanced Materials Show, co-located with MS&T23, welcomed a record number of attendees through the door, all with a shared focus on discovering the latest materials innovations and technology. This industry leading event showcased the latest innovations, trends, and ideas through collaboration, creating meaningful business connections, and paving the way for future advancements within the Advanced Materials Technology Industry.

Lucy Li, Ph.D, Senior Field Application Engineer for Forge Nano, exhibitors at the 2023 show, stated:

‘The Advanced Materials Show is able to bring together industry players and advanced technology. The intersection of academia and industry having these two shows co-located brings together innovation and collaboration.’

One of the standout features of this year’s show was the highly anticipated Graphene Applications Day, hosted by The Graphene Council, which brought together leading experts and pioneers in the field to discuss the latest developments in graphene and its diverse applications. Attendees were treated to in-depth insights, case studies, and engaging discussions that explored the transformative potential of graphene across multiple sectors. Terrance Barkan, Executive Director for The Graphene Council, took to the stage to discuss the diverse application properties of Graphene within the automotive sector, and welcomed speakers from key companies including ITA International, EVERCLOAK, Hydrograph, and MITO Materials. Featured topics included the use of graphene within performance textiles, batteries, and lubricants, all which proved to be an engaging and insightful discussions.

In addition to the Graphene focused day, we welcome our exhibitors to take center stage and present their latest developments; The Technology Showcase presentations allowed exhibitors to demonstrate their breakthroughs and innovations to a captivated audience. These presentations provided a platform for attendees to explore the latest advancements in materials science and witness firsthand the real-world applications of these innovations.

Collaboration and networking played a pivotal role throughout the event, with attendees and exhibitors engaging in productive discussions and forging valuable connections across the exhibition floor. Zak Towner, Event Director for The Advanced Materials Show, says “The show proved to be an extraordinary gathering of the advanced materials supply chain with an incredible range of cutting-edge technology on display. We are delighted with the attendance at the show with thousands of buyers walking the aisles, engaging with exhibitors, and developing long lasting partnerships!”
