PRESIDENT'S GREETING

Updated February 04, 2026

On behalf of the Institute of Roll Design, welcome to our upcoming event in Pittsburgh. We’re pleased to bring our members and industry colleagues together for several days of learning, discussion, and connection.

​

Thank you to our IRD members, committees, volunteers, and supporters whose continued involvement keeps this organization strong. We also appreciate Miller Centrifugal Casting for hosting this event and for their support of IRD.

​

The goal of this event is simple: to share practical knowledge and experience that helps move our industry forward. The Technical Papers and discussions reflect the values that bring us together—safety projects, sound engineering, continuous improvement, and collaboration.

​

We encourage you to take part fully in the sessions, connect with others, and consider how you can stay involved with IRD moving forward. Whether through participation, presenting, or volunteering, your engagement matters.

​

Thank you for being part of IRD. We look forward to a productive and enjoyable event in Pittsburgh.

 

Will Drohan

President, IRD
