AM Coalition announces Annual DC Legislative Fly-In 2026
The Additive Manufacturing Coalition will hold its 4th Annual DC Legislative Fly-In, April 28–30, 2026, at Phoenix Park Hotel, Washington, DC, USA. Metal AM magazine is once again partnering with the event, which last year welcomed 52 participants, met with the Office of the Secretary of Defense and conducted 104 Congressional meetings.
The AM Coalition is seeking to address the most pressing current needs of the Additive Manufacturing industry to ensure demand and quality are met in the most effective ways. This year, the FY27 NDAA, Workforce Development, adversarial printers, procurement reform, tariffs, biomedical-related Additive Manufacturing and certification and validation are just a few of the issues on the agenda.
David Cherington, Executive Director of the Additive Manufacturing Coalition, stated, “Thank you, Metal AM. We’re pleased to partner with you and your publication once again this year. We greatly appreciate our collaboration and Metal AM supporting the 2026 DC Legislative Fly‑In.”
