The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) has extended the registration deadline for its 2025 Retirees Conference. The event is scheduled to take place from October 20 to 22, 2025, at the Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Attendees now have until Monday, September 15, 2025, to register for both the conference and hotel accommodations.
This year’s conference theme is “Leaders and Legends.” According to the IAM, the event will honor retirees’ contributions while also 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,” the organization stated.
Participants can expect a range of activities during the three-day event, including guest speakers, breakout sessions aimed at sparking discussion, and opportunities for networking among IAM members. A highlight of the conference will be a tour of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center scheduled for Wednesday, October 22.
“This year’s theme, ‘Leaders and Legends,’ will honor the contributions of our retirees while energizing and empowering us for the work ahead,” said organizers in their announcement.
