Looking Back to Move Forward
FABTECH 2025 connected thousands of professionals, sparked new ideas, and celebrated the people who make this industry strong. In 2025, we’re expanding those opportunities to learn, connect, and lead.
“FABTECH is my favorite event of the year. It’s an opportunity to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, network with industry leaders, and see amazing machines in action.”
“The absolute BEST part of the week has to be the AWS networking events! The opening reception, Women in Welding breakfast, and Arcs & Ales are can’t-miss events where I’ve met many amazing people. FABTECH is the industry reunion that grows every year.”
