IIW Annual Assemblies and International Conf.

IIW ANNUAL ASSEMBLIES AND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES

IIW events such as the Annual Assembly and International Conference, hosted by Member Societies in locations around the world, provide unique opportunities for experts, practitioners and accompanying persons to meet and network at both professional and personal levels. Since 1983 a concurrent International Conference has facilitated access for the local welding industry and young professionals to international experts and leading-edge research and technology, and provided a platform for showcasing developments in the host nation to the welding world.
