AM Center's Partner Conference 2025
Join us on March 26-27, 2025, for the AM Center Partner Conference – a unique event for the centre's members to meet, learn, and exchange experiences.
This year, the conference will take place at Volvohallen in Torslanda, Gothenburg, starting at 12:00 on March 26 and concluding at around 16:00 on March 27. The programme will include inspiring presentations, engaging discussions, and an enjoyable conference dinner for those who wish to attend.
Throughout the two days, you’ll hear about exciting projects and activities from the past year and have the opportunity to meet the individuals behind them. The conference offers a valuable platform for learning, skill development, and knowledge sharing, where we can exchange experiences and insights while benefiting from the collective expertise of the centre. It’s also an opportunity to initiate new projects, plan joint activities, and identify synergies across the additive manufacturing value chain.
Tickets are available at cost price, covering lunch and dinner. Please note that the event is open exclusively to members of the centre.
Welcome!
