The 64th Annual Conference of Metallurgy and Materials is organized by MetSoc of CIM.

In 1945, the Metallurgy Division was formed to reflect the group’s technical interests. Constituted as a Society in 1967, the Metallurgical Society (MetSoc) is one of the four societies and five divisions making up the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum (CIM). In October of 2010, the Society adopted its new name The Metallurgy and Materials Society.
