The AFS Institute is proud to announce Metalcasting for Purchasing Professionals, a course for new buyers, purchasing managers, and supplier development engineers.
Foundries operate differently from other supply bases, and those new to the industry can make costly mistakes when they don’t understand those details. This course helps close that knowledge gap by connecting metalcasting fundamentals directly to the decisions purchasing professionals make every week.
Registration for the 2026 AFS Young Professionals Annual Meeting is now open! This year’s event will take place in Neenah, WI on November 3-4, 2026. Join emerging metalcasting leaders from across the globe for a high-energy, high-value experience focused on learning, leadership, and connection. This event provides the perfect opportunity to build valuable industry relationships that will leave you inspired to grow your career in metalcasting.
SCHAUMBURG, IL - The AFS Foundry Leadership Summit is a little over a month away taking place September 14-16, at the Stein Eriksen Lodge in Park City, UT.
