AMUG Conference 2021 Relocated to Florida
Published on December 10, 2020 by
Today, the Additive manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) announced that its annual in-person conference had to be relocated and postponed. The AMUG conference will now take place in Orlando, Florida, from the 2nd to the 6th of May, 2021, at the Hilton Orlando.
The Additive Manufacturing User Group association has been organizing this eagerly-awaited yearly conference since the 1990s. Once solely focused on the advancement of stereolithography (SLA) – the first 3D printing technology to emerge – its aim today is to educate and support users of all additive manufacturing technologies, regardless of their experience level. In fact, this is the key feature of the conference: it focuses exclusively on users. Each year the AMUG conferences provides a forum for presentations of new technologies, new processes, new machines, and much more.
