The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) has announced an extension to the registration deadline for its 2025 Retirees Conference. The event is scheduled for October 20-22, 2025, at the Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Participants now have until Monday, September 15, 2025, to register for both the conference and hotel accommodations.
The conference will focus on the theme “Leaders and Legends,” aiming to recognize the contributions of IAM retirees while preparing attendees for future union efforts. According to organizers, “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 program includes guest speakers, breakout sessions designed to encourage discussion among members, and networking opportunities. A special tour of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center is planned 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 event organizers.
Attendees are encouraged to register before the new deadline.
