AMI Instruments will be exhibiting at The Advanced Materials Show USA 2026, taking place October 6–7, 2026 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Co-located with the MS&T26 Technical Meeting & Exhibition, the annual gathering of the Materials Science & Technology conference series, the show brings together materials scientists, R&D engineers, QA/QC teams, lab managers, process engineers, manufacturers, OEMs, and technical buyers with the latest equipment, technologies, and suppliers supporting advanced materials development and production.
Admission to The Advanced Materials Show is free. If you are attending MS&T26 or visiting Pittsburgh in October, we would love for you to stop by and connect with the AMI team on the exhibition floor.
The Advanced Materials Show USA provides a focused environment for discovering the latest advancements in high-performance materials technology. With its broad technical audience and co-location with MS&T26, the event creates a valuable opportunity for researchers, engineers, manufacturers, and technical decision-makers to connect and explore solutions across the advanced materials development and production supply chain.
About the Show
The Advanced Materials Show USA 2026
The Advanced Materials Show USA is a free-to-attend exhibition dedicated to showcasing the latest advancements in high-performance materials technology. First held in 2022 and growing annually since, the show serves as a focused marketplace where innovators from across the materials development supply chain come together to explore cutting-edge breakthroughs in material science and manufacturing.
Co-location with MS&T26, which takes place October 4–7 and requires a paid registration, gives The Advanced Materials Show access to one of the largest concentrated audiences of materials scientists and engineers in North America each year, creating a uniquely rich environment for technical conversation and business connection.
Show Dates: October 6–7, 2026 | Location: Hall A, David L. Lawrence Convention Center, 1000 Fort Duquesne Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 | Co-located with: MS&T26 Technical Meeting & Exhibition (October 4–7) | Admission: Free to attend

Why AMI Is Exhibiting
Characterization Solutions for Advanced Materials
The Advanced Materials Show USA is built around the exact intersection where AMI operates: the analytical instruments and characterization tools that researchers and engineers need to understand, develop, and validate advanced materials. Attendees come to the show specifically to discover solutions in materials characterization, testing and measurement, scientific instrumentation, and lab equipment — the categories at the core of AMI’s portfolio.
The AMI booth will provide an opportunity to explore how our instruments support advanced materials research and production across the key sectors represented at the show:
- Battery & energy materials: gas adsorption analyzers for BET surface area and pore characterization of cathode, anode, and separator materials; true density analyzers for electrode powder density measurement; XRD for crystal structure and phase identification.
- Catalysts & technical ceramics: chemisorption analyzers for active site characterization; reactor systems for in situ reaction testing; TGA for thermal stability and decomposition profiling.
- Composites, coatings & polymers: DSC, TGA, and STA for Tg, melting behavior, crystallinity, and thermal stability; gas adsorption for specific surface area of finely divided powders and fillers.
- Aerospace & defense materials: XRD phase analysis and residual stress measurement; high-temperature DSC for refractory ceramic and alloy characterization; gas pycnometry for true density.
- Nanomaterials & advanced powders: physisorption and chemisorption for surface area, pore structure, and active site quantification; true density measurement for precise powder characterization.
The show’s broad cross-disciplinary audience — spanning materials scientists, process engineers, QA/QC teams, and technical buyers from aerospace, automotive, semiconductors, batteries, and defense — reflects the full range of industries where AMI’s characterization instruments are applied every day.
