ASM Will Not Cancel September Conference in St. Louis

The ASM sponsored Heat Treat 2021 exhibition is scheduled for September 14-16th in St. Louis, Missouri. With Covid cases in Missouri rising again and new masking mandates in effect, many have speculated about whether the event will or should go ahead. ASM have issued this unequivical statement in effect saying “the show will go on”. From the 2019 ASM event in Detroit we have this photo of the Aerospace Testing & Pyrometry booth. From left to right we see Andrew Bassett, Gord Montgomery and Tom Zimmerman.

“ASM International and AGMA are committed to holding the 31st Heat Treating Society Conference and Exposition (Heat Treat 2021) and the Motion + Power Technology Expo September 14-16 in St. Louis, Mo., and will not be canceling the events. Members want a platform to conduct business face‐to‐face, and it is our job to support that with our conferences and trade shows. The top priority remains the health and safety of all those who support the event on‐site. We have protocols in place and are working with America’s Center Convention Complex, the city of St. Louis and our vendor partners to provide a safe environment for a successful in‐person event.”
