The TSS Open Mic highlights established leaders in thermal spray, who share their life-time experiences with all of us. However, in this month’s special panel session, there will be an unexpected and amazing twist. It will feature three young rising stars and future leaders of our thermal spray community. Let’s explore the remarkable journeys of these emerging professionals, understand the challenges they face and take a peek in their dreams in the world of thermal spray technology.
