Overview
KM conferences are designed to maximize interaction between KM stakeholders. Thus, Inovati and its existing and future customers, suppliers and partners gather to exchange ideas and results in an open forum away from day to day pressures.
This year the conference will be divided into three parts:
Schedule
Day 1
Morning of intensive technical presentations by Inovati personnel. These will cover the theory and practice of the KM process with special emphasis on the coating economics featuring comparisons between Kinetic Metallization (KM), cold spray and thermal spray. The afternoon session will feature talks by Inovati customers and suppliers.
Day 2
Day-long hands on workshop at the Inovati facility. All participants will have the opportunity to operate KM equipment and to take part in an evaluation of the coating produced at the conference. Again, special attention will be placed on gathering data that will identify the actual cost of producing high quality coatings in a working environment.
Day 3
Recreational event allowing for continued discussion between the conference participants. At the end of the day the preliminary results of the workshop will be presented in a final technical session. Final workshop results will be distributed along with conference proceedings in a DVD mailed to all participants.

Here at Inovati, we are truly passionate about KM, and want to spread the word about this cutting edge cold spray technology and why we think it’s the best out there. These conferences give us the venue with which to do precisely that, as well as share novel and exciting products with our colleagues in the spray community. They also allow us to hear feedback from attendees and focus in on the ever-evolving needs of our customers.
