The 2023 IAM Unity and Growth Conference will train, educate and inspire IAM officers, staff, activists, and other leaders to organize new members in all sectors and continue to embrace and strengthen the diversity of our union. Morning plenary sessions will feature dynamic speakers and panels. In contrast, afternoon breakout sessions will include instruction on fresh organizing tactics and how communications, strategic research, legal matters, and diversity can help grow our union.

“I am excited to announce a conference that will not only help grow our union sector by sector but embrace the diversity that exists in our organization,” said IAM International President Robert Martinez Jr.  “We will hear from some of the most talented individuals and their strategies on taking us to the next level. This conference will bear ideas and plans to move us forward for 2023 and beyond.”

·         Aerospace and Service Contract Act

·         Automotive

·         Manufacturing and Shipbuilding

·         Wood, Pulp and Paper, and Natural Resources

·         Public Sector, Healthcare, and Non-Traditional Industries
