The biennial Light Metal Technology (LMT) conference is a significant industry and academia event that was created in order to provide an opportunity to industry professionals and researchers to come together, share knowledge and engage in networking that enables the industry to continue to grow and improve through innovation.

LMT2025 gives industry leaders an opportunity to share presentations highlighting challenges and issues that the light metals industry currently faces and the way these challenges can be navigated using innovative solutions. This is a matter of growing importance though the increased requirements on the industry to improve in the areas of sustainability and circularity of components and materials.

The event is hosted by Jönköping University, the leading Light Alloys research establishment is Sweden. 

Drawing upon their influence and stature in the industry, and scientific community they are able to help create a world-class event that is of integral importance for anyone in the light materials sector.

The conference focuses on recent developments in the sciences and technologies associated with the development and manufacture of aluminium, magnesium and titanium alloys, and their translation into commercial products.

LMT2025 will feature presentations by industry experts as well as workshops that aim to help attendees increase their understanding and sharpen their skills, enabling them to then pass on their gained skills and knowledge to their colleagues and other professionals in the industry. Additionally, the event is purposefully designed to provide attendees with ample networking time in order to allow important knowledge transfer and the creation of valuable partnerships which can ultimately enrich the entire industry.

The LMT series is made possible by the organisational efforts of the members of the Global Light Metals Alliance, which includes eleven centres that specialise in light metals research. 

Previous conferences have been held in Australia (2003), Austria (2005), Canada (2007), Australia (2009), Germany (2011), UK (2013), South Africa (2015), USA (2017), China (2019) and Australia again (2023). What is new is that there is a plan to give a Light Alloy Course together with the conference. This course is open to industry with world renown teachers.
