The 24th International Conference on Composite Materials (ICCM24) will be held at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland, between August 4-8, 2025.

The University of Delaware Center for Composite Materials (CCM) is pleased to host ICCM 24 as part of our 50th anniversary celebrations. This exciting conference will be held at The Baltimore Convention Center next to the Inner Harbor with its stunning waterfront views and is rimmed with spectacular museums. The conference will feature a dedicated industry track, international networking opportunities and cutting-edge research and insights.

CCM, based in nearby Newark, Delaware, has been a global leader in composites research for five decades. From our inception, we’ve pushed the boundaries and set the standard for advanced capabilities that have shaped the composites landscape.

We look forward to welcoming you to Baltimore — a city renowned for its rich cultural and historical heritage and a strong manufacturing base. In the latter half of the 20th century, the defense industry began to expand its presence in and around Baltimore. New opportunities for advanced manufacturing and information technology have emerged here in the 21st century.

Today, Baltimore is known to be a diverse community with a lively arts and culture scene, historical landmarks, museums and attractions. Known for its skilled workforce, Baltimore leverages its strengths in advanced manufacturing and biotechnology to build a better future.

In addition to the conference welcome reception and banquet, we hope that you’ll have time to celebrate our 50th anniversary at a social event on Wednesday. Details coming soon!

Along with my co-chair, Professor Erik Thostenson, I look forward to greeting you in Baltimore to participate in ICCM 24.
