The Aluminum Anodizers Council (AAC) and the Aluminum Extruders Council (AEC) are collaborating to provide their members and industry professionals with business and technical information related to the aluminum anodizing and extrusion industries.

The AAC 34th Annual International Aluminum Anodizing Conference & Exposition and the AEC Management Conference will be co-located, forming the 2025 Aluminum Summit. The event will take place from Tuesday, September 16, through Thursday, September 18, at the Atlanta Hilton in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

The comprehensive program addresses critical challenges faced by the aluminum extrusion and anodizing industries, including analysis of the aluminum metal market, the status of aluminum tariffs, workplace safety, sustainability, and more. The program will include two general sessions covering relevant information for both groups, 24 Focus Sessions organized into six tracks, with four sessions each. Three tracks will concentrate on anodizing issues, and three tracks will focus on extrusion issues.  

The Aluminum Marketplace, a small-scale Expo composed of exhibitors that supply products and services to anodizers and extruders, provides a forum for networking and camaraderie between the two associations and the attendees.  

Conference websites have been created to share program and registration details with attendees. AAC has established registration fees for both members and non-members to register at www.members.anodizing.org/AluminumSummit.  AEC members should log in and register at https://aec.org/AluminumSummit.
