The 2026 Foundry Marketing & Sales Conference will be held Oct. 27-28 at the AFS Headquarters in Schaumburg, IL. This one-and-a-half day conference was built to help foundry leaders stay ahead of the curve and be the leaders of market standards in the metalcasting industry.

Casting buyer behavior is changing faster than most teams realize. Government policy is reshaping manufacturing investment, artificial intelligence is changing how buyers research suppliers, customer expectations continue to grow, and your competitors are responding to the ever-evolving market and consumer needs.

Attending this conference will result in a stronger understanding of today’s casting marketplace, practical methods for gathering and using market intelligence, actionable strategies for aligning sales and marketing, consumer insight into how foundry customers
evaluate suppliers, actionable market strategies based on your organizations priorities, and the tools for making strategic commercial decisions. This conference is perfect for any foundry professional responsible for developing marketing strategy and commercial growth.
