For the past decade, I’ve attended the FMA Annual Meeting because it’s the most informative and relevant event for my business. With an excellent speaker lineup and track sessions focused on fabrication, metals processing, distribution, tube and pipe, welding, and disruptive technology, there really is something for everyone on your leadership team.

Plus, this conference gives you the opportunity to build and strengthen key industry relationships and gather insights from:

  • Inspiring keynotes such as former Dallas Cowboy and ESPN analyst Darren Woodson; Emory University international business professor Jeffrey Rosensweig; and FMA’s economic analyst Dr. Chris Kuehl.
  • Industry experts presenting the latest innovations and advanced technologies.
  • Colleagues and peers who will share their solutions to common challenges during interactive roundabouts.

Experience San Antonio’s charm and hospitality while touring The Alamo and the popular River Walk. Expand your network at engaging and fun activities including the Golf Scramble on the first day, the Welcome Reception with a silent auction benefiting Nuts, Bolts, & Thingamajigs, a tour of the Toyota Motor Manufacturing plant, the FMA Fiesta Night, and more.

We also have a few surprises up our sleeves as the 2020 conference will be the perfect kickoff to a year of celebrating FMA’s 50th Anniversary! Visit the FMA website to view the full event schedule.

Don’t forget to reserve your room at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort by January 31, 2020, to get the discounted group rate of $255/night.

Join us in the great state of Texas and register today for the FMA Annual Meeting, March 3-5 in San Antonio, to obtain new ideas for your business and connect with industry professionals.

See you in San Antonio!
