Composites, Materials & Structures Conference 2027

Source high-temperature ceramic matrix composites, evaluate advanced thermal protection systems (TPS), and inspect automated additive manufacturing technologies at the Annual Conference on Composites, Materials & Structures 2027 (CMS). Organized by the United States Advanced Ceramics Association (USACA) in collaboration with ITAR/defense stakeholders, the premier restricted/classified aerospace and defense materials event gathers at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside across 4 focused business days. Connecting materials engineers, defense procurement managers, systems contractors, and agency leads from NASA, DARPA, the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Army with specialized materials suppliers, the technical program focuses on extreme environment materials, carbon-carbon composites, hypersonics, and high-velocity impact armor. Attendees gain direct access to closed-door technical sessions, ITAR-compliant poster presentations, computational process modeling tracks, and targeted B2B networking driving next-generation aerospace and defense innovation.
