Conferences in 2020
By the close of 2019, the International Association of Advanced Materials had successfully organized 31 assemblies of the Advanced Materials Congress globally. The association brought its flagship conference to various continents, including North America, Asia, and Europe. Across these conferences, IAAM hosted over 16,000 distinguished researchers, scientists, and business executives from around 120 countries. The conferences featured more than 1000 thematic sessions covering a broad spectrum of topics in advanced materials. As IAAM entered a new decade, it also celebrated fifteen years of the Advanced Materials Congress. However, following the AMC assembly in Australia, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic led to the postponement of IAAM events or their transition to an online LIVE format.
