About Us

The International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films (ICMCTF) is recognized as the premier international conference on thin film deposition, characterization, and advanced surface engineering. It provides a forum and networking venue for scientists, engineers, and technologists from academia, government laboratories, and industry.

Attendees from all over the world come to present their findings, exchange ideas, share insights, make new friends, and renew old acquaintances.

The Conference typically draws more than 800 attendees, covering more than 50 oral technical sessions and a well-attended Thursday evening poster session.

ICMCTF 2020 will have eight technical symposia A through H and five topical symposia, addressing experimental, theoretical, and manufacturing issues associated with the development of new coating materials and processes, novel methods of analysis and characterization, and approaches to scale-up for commercial applications.  

The conference will open with a plenary talk on Monday morning by Professor Magnus Berggren from Linköping University, Sweden on “Organic Electronics – Nature Connected.”

Visit the exhibit hall on Tuesday, April 28, from 12:00-7:00 p.m. and Wednesday, April 29, from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. to learn about new products, services and application techniques that will help improve all facets of R&D, Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality Control and general laboratory operations.

This is a great opportunity for attendees to interface with vendors who are eager to introduce their products that will satisfy your laboratory requirements and your specific research criteria.  The exhibit hall is also a great place for networking. Join us each day for lunch and the exhibit hall reception on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.

Welcome to the 2020 ICMCTF Conference & Exhibition

ICMCTF is the premier international conference in the field of thin film deposition, characterization and advanced surface engineering promoting global exchange of ideas and information among scientists, technologists, and manufacturers. The conference includes more than 60 high profile invited speakers across fourteen symposia along with focused topic sessions, short courses, equipment exhibition, social networking events and an extensive poster session.

A vibrant industrial equipment exhibition is featured in conjunction with the Conference on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 28 - 29, 2020.  Participate in the industry’s largest conference dedicated to the arts and sciences of coatings, thin films, and surface modifications. Attendance to the exhibition is free and open to the public.

The Exhibition will feature technology, equipment and services for Thin Film and Bulk Coatings, Coating Materials, Surface Modification Equipment, Monitoring & Test Equipment and all ancillary equipment used in conjunction with the deposition, monitoring and testing of all coatings and modified surfaces.

During exhibit hours, our attendees visit the exhibit hall often to be educated on new products, services and application techniques that will help them improve all facets of R&D, Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality Control and general laboratory operations.

This is a great opportunity for vendors to interface with qualified scientists and engineers who are eager to learn more about your products and services. Many networking events are held throughout the week to ensure that our vendors and attendees can interact during nonexhibit days/hours.
