Conference Overview & Highlights

“Surface Engineering for Sustainable Development”

The 51st International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films (ICMCTF 2025) will be held at the Town & Country Resort, San Diego, California, USA, from May 11-16, 2025. ICMCTF is the premier international conference in the field of thin film deposition, characterization, and advanced surface engineering, promoting a global exchange of ideas and information among scientists, technologists, and manufacturers. ICMCTF 2025 technical sessions will have an overarching theme that emphasizes materials, processes, and applications relevant for sustainable development and will include a related Topical Symposium. The Conference includes more than 90 high-profile invited speakers, in over 50 sessions, across technical symposia, plenary and keynote lectures, short courses, an awards program, and daily social networking events.

A major exhibition of equipment, materials, technical literature, and new technologies is a key part of the conference. Attendees from all over the world come to present their findings, exchange ideas, share insights, make new friends, and often establish collaborations. The Conference typically draws 700 attendees.
