The experiment was a success! This year's Materials Day was a completely different event than past years. We retooled the event into a fast-paced, one-day experience with poster sessions, industry meet and greet, guided and self-guided tours of our cutting-edge facilities including demonstrations, flash talks, a tribute to the late former MRI director Carlo Pantano, and day-end reception.

All this attracted a record crowd of more than 500 attendees from both the University and industry, and early reviews have been glowing! Thank you to all who attended, and we look forward to seeing you at Materials Day 2026. 

Thank you to all who attended! We would love to hear from you, get your feedback, and suggestions.
