Why Orlando is the Ideal Location for IMS-2026

Orlando is more than a tourist destination—it is an emerging hub for advanced materials research, space technology, clean energy innovation, and high-tech manufacturing. The city is home to leading universities, research centers, aerospace companies, and industrial laboratories, aligning perfectly with the vision and mission of IMS-2026.

Reasons Orlando Stands Out:

● Strong science & technology ecosystem including partnerships with NASA, aerospace engineering hubs, and advanced materials research institutes.

● Excellent international connectivity through Orlando International Airport (MCO), making travel seamless for delegates worldwide.

● Modern conference infrastructure with top-tier accommodations, event venues, and business facilities.

● Safe, clean, and visitor-friendly environment ideal for networking and collaboration.

● Vibrant cultural scene and attractions offering opportunities to unwind after scientific sessions.

Orlando strikes the perfect balance between a highly professional meeting environment and a lively destination with endless possibilities for exploration.
