Conference Overview & Highlights

The International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films (ICMCTF) will be held at the Town & Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California, USA, from May 22-27 2022.

The International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films (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 more than 90 high-profile invited speakers, in over 50 sessions, across fourteen technical and topical symposia, three special interest talks, several featured lectures, as well as focused topic sessions, short courses, an equipment exhibition, an awards program, and daily social networking events.
