Local Chapters

The Local Advantage

IADD has seven active Chapter regions throughout the US and Canada. Each Chapter is run by a team of volunteers who help plan technical meetings and social events. Based on the region, volunteers/members identify training topics and find experts to bring to your local area. The IADD supports the development of additional chapters when interest is expressed.

Be a Part of Something Bigger Close to Home

  • Chapter meetings and social events are your local source for professional development.
  • Exchange ideas, discuss problems, compare notes on new products, meet competitors and establish better business relations.
  • Network with diecutters, diemakers and industry vendors who share your interests and concerns.


Chapter meetings are open to anyone in the industry. Check the calendar and attend local educational workshops, facility tours and social events.
