The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) has extended the registration deadline for its 2025 Retirees Conference. The event will be held from October 20 to 22 at the Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
This year’s conference theme is “Leaders and Legends.” According to organizers, the event will recognize the contributions of retirees while focusing on energizing and empowering participants for future work.
“This gathering is more than just a conference; it is also a celebration of solidarity and strength. Retirees and future retirees from across North America will come together to build community, share experiences, and strategize on how to elevate retiree engagement within our union,” organizers said.
Attendees can expect guest speakers, breakout sessions, and opportunities to connect with other IAM members. A special tour of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center is scheduled for October 22 as part of the program.
The new registration deadline for both the conference and hotel accommodations is now Monday, September 15, 2025.
