supported by SAMPE and the ACSS

This is the premier composites event in Australia.

Engineers, researchers, students, composites fabricators, apprentices, all industry professionals - plan to attend. We are bringing you the best!

Composites play an increasingly important role as a material of the future. This year’s conference will bring you the latest in research and development findings, projects, and trends. The knowledge and insights you will pick up will be worth well more than the registration fee.

The Conference
Two days of technical, academic and practical presentations, workshops, tutorials and live demonstrations covering a range of topics to suit all interests, from innovations and engineering applications to fabrication issues. See full Conference Programme here.

"Diversity in Composites" - the theme itself covers diverse meanings which apply to composites.
There is a tremendous diversity in composite applications, and the range is still increasing. From planes and trains to bridges and buildings, composites play an increasingly important role as a material of the future. In addition, composites fabricators and manufacturers can apply their processes and skills to a diversity of products, allowing them to diversify; when one market is down, another will be on the rise.

This year a reviewed stream of academic and research papers has been added to our Programme, which will also feature the popular Engineers Thursday and Fabricators Friday presentations.

Early Bird Registration is now open - ENDS 17 FEBRUARY. Complete the form here to secure your place now.

Partnership
We are proud that the CRC-ACS is again partnering with Composites Australia for this event. Together, we have developed the Conference to advance the industry by promoting and encouraging greater uptake of the latest in fibre composites technology.

Welcome Drinks - sponsored by Magnum Venus Plastech
Welcome Drinks will be held on Wednesday evening 14th March for all early arrivals. There is no cost, but please let us know if you will attend, for catering purposes.

The Dinner
The conference dinner - the industry event you won’t want to miss - takes place on Thursday 15th March!

The Venue
The Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains hotel was recently acquired by the Accor Group and has been renovated and upgraded to meet the high Accor standard. Beautiful rooms and setting in the stunning Blue Mountains of New South Wales.

Located just 90 minutes from Sydney Airport by car or train, it is easily reachable and is surrounded by the Blue Mountains National Park.



We look forward to seeing you in the mountains in March 2012!

The 2011 Conference & Trade Show :
Australia’s composites conference showcased the full composites & fibreglass value chain and attracts attendees from all key industries - including automotive and transport, aerospace, building & construction, civil infrastructure, corrosion, energy, marine, mining, and recreation.

Held over two days at the wonderful Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove resort, this event offered a great opportunity to do business, make new contacts and learn the latest in the industry. The now-famous Conference Dinner was the perfect chance to meet & greet your industry colleagues, chat over a drink, talk business over a relaxed buffet dinner.
