The Colorado Section of the American Welding Society in conjunction with the Center for Welding, Joining, and Coating Research at Colorado School of Mines is hosting a Spring Welding Symposium at Colorado School of Mines. The two day symposium will be held Thursday March 11 and Friday March 12, 2010 in Petroleum Hall in the Green Center, 924 16th Street, in Golden, Colorado (see http://greencenter.mines.edu/  for maps and location).  The symposium will cover a wide range of topics relevant to welding including: welder training, welder certification, robotic welding, non-destructive evaluation of welds, Codes and Standards, the metallurgy of welding, advice for selecting welding gas mixtures, and gas torch safety.  This symposium will be of interest to those in the welding industry as well as construction trades, builders, designers, welding students, engineers and engineering students. The symposium is free, but you must register. Click here to Register!

Supporting Businesses: $200 Or whatever you feel comfortable contributing,
all donations will be used for AWS Section 039 Scholarships (the money will stay in the local economy). The symposium will be held in Petroleum Hall of the Green Center, at Colorado School of Mines in Golden Colorado. Seating is limited so please click here to Register!.

When we started lining up the speakers and topics we were going to charge $200.00 for both days. As we found our speakers and topics we all said that a $200.00 fee was way low. Just to hear one of the speakers talk on their topic could and would cost you or your company a least twice that amount. We are not only having one great speaker, we are having 15 to 20 speakers all leaders in their industry and field sought out for the information they have. So what should we charge for this outstanding symposium, which would be worth two to five time that amount? Given the state of the economy, and because it's our inaugural event, we want to make this special event available to everyone.
