Symposium Gives Industry Material for Growth 

High-performance materials research will yield high-performance 
results when industry leaders and senior technologists convene to 
learn how NASA can help them acquire and develop new technology 
through partnership. NASA's Advanced Materials Symposium takes place 
May 29 - 31 at the Cleveland Marriott Downtown at Key Center, 
Cleveland.



Keeping with this year's theme, "New Directions in Advanced Materials 
Systems," leading researchers and program managers from across the 
Agency will give presentations on topics ranging from material 
development and commercialization to nanotechnology.



Designed to help industry better understand the recent developments, 
goals and visions of NASA's materials program, the symposium will 
also foster exchange between NASA personnel and business 
representatives in hopes of identifying current industry needs and 
commercial applications of the presented technologies.
