Since its establishment in 1938, the Charles Edgar Hoyt Memorial Lecture has emerged as a cornerstone event in metalcasting, featuring presentations from esteemed leaders, thinkers, and visionaries who offer their unique perspectives on the industry's evolution. 

The lecture, named after Charles Edgar Hoyt, AFS's inaugural secretary, holds a prominent place at every Metalcasting Congress. Each lecturer is selected by the AFS Honorary Lectures & Papers Committee. Lecturers receive a cast statuette modeled after the Winged Victory of Samothrace, as depicted below.
