Annual Conferences

Conferences are held each year, and bring together many local and international delegatesto learn about the latest developments in the industry. The conferences include two or three days of original papers, presented by Australian and overseas speakers and a number of associated social events which give delegates the opportunity to network and socialise with each other.

The 2010 Conference will see a departure from the three day technical program which has been used in recent years to an intensive two day program enabling delegates to return to their families early on Saturday.

The 2010 Conference will be held from 9th to 10th September 2010, at the Novotel Forest Resort, Creswick,  Victoria.   The programme of speakers and topics and registration details to be announced early in 2010.

Technical seminars and workshops

These are aimed at specific education needs of practicing chemists and technicians. Most State Sections hold a monthly technical meeting and occasional plant tours. These are regular talks on topics of general interest to people working in the surface coatings industry. Each lecture is followed by a lively discussion over dinner. The State Sections also organize social activities such as dinner dances, picnics and sports days, where members can meet in less formal surroundings.
