Scholarship Night − Cancelled for 2020
The AWS Detroit Section promotes the welding industry by investing in students who are attending universities, community colleges, and trade schools. We honor students who receive these scholarships at a special AWS Detroit dinner meeting. <!– RSVP at: scholarshiprsvp@awsdetroit.org
Ladies’ Night − Cancelled for 2020
Ladies’ Night is our second largest event. The dinner and dance event is to honor our wives with gifts and elegant dining. While we gather, guests are invited to enjoy cocktails & hors d’oeuvres. Once gathered, we transition to awards, dinner, and the raffle.
Ladies’ Night has been cancelled due to concerns regarding COVID-19. This event will be rescheduled at a later date. Individuals who have reserved rooms at the Detroit Marriott must cancel their reservation 24 hours prior to arrival to avoid fees. Each guest is responsible for canceling their own reservation since they made their own reservation. We are reaching out to each registrant to ensure they are aware of these Ladies’ Night changes – look for an email from us!
Golf Outing − Cancelled for 2020
The annual Golf Outing is a very nice event that raises money for scholarships and is a good opportunity to mingle.
The Golf Outing for 2020 has been cancelled due to COVID-19 and will be resumed in 2021.
High School Welding Contest − Cancelled for 2020
Due to the K-12 face-to-face school closure set forth by the Governor, we will unfortunately have to cancel this year’s high school welding competition that was scheduled for May 15th.

The SMWC is the premier technical conference dedicated to bringing experts together to discuss state-of-the-art welding and joining technologies for the automotive, transportation, and light manufacturing industries.
