About the 2023 IAM Unity and Growth Conference
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.

Breakout industry sectors include:
·         Aerospace and Service Contract Act
·         Automotive
·         Manufacturing and Shipbuilding
·         Wood, Pulp and Paper, and Natural Resources
·         Public Sector, Healthcare, and Non-Traditional Industries
·         Air Transport and Rail

Delegates will also convene in individual industrial sector meetings to discuss, review, and produce a proactive, strategic organizing plan. Each sector will report to the entire conference.
