This event has established itself as Australia’s pre-eminent composites conference and trade show. Showcasing the full composites value-chain, it attracts attendees from key industries including aerospace, automotive, building & construction, civil infrastructure, energy, marine, mining and transport. This year, the conference also incorporates SAMPE ASIA.

There are many levels on which composites fabricators, suppliers, researchers, educators and end-users can participate – as a conference delegate, trade show visitor, exhibitor, sponsor or presenter. In 2009 we expect visitors from across Australia, New Zealand and the rest of the world.

Held over two days in the hub of Queensland’s boatbuilding industry – the beautiful Gold Coast - this event offers attendees a great opportunity to conduct business, establish new contacts and learn of the latest industry offerings. Bring the family and stay on for the weekend, exploring the fantastic beaches, attractions and shopping!

Conference and Exhibition 2008

The recent Composites Australia / Composites CRC conference and exhibition fulfilled the association's commitment to bring to the industry the latest information on processes, products and issues for the Australian composites markets. It was an opportunity for all who attended to broaden their horizons, expand their knowledge, and share concerns with an ever-growing composites community. The event attracted delegates from 10 countries and all states of Australia.

Flemington race course, the conference venue, provided a cool escape from the unseasonably hot weather in Melbourne.

The comments we have received from conference delegates and trade show visitors have been overwhelmingly positive.

The "Parkinson"-style chat with Campbell Bolwell on the afternoon of Day One engrossed the audience, who heard a chronicle of his life with composites. Campbell, a long term member of Composites Australia, generously lent his new Nagari for display. Attracting unprecedented interest from all composites practitioners, this spectacular two-seater sports car encased in a carbon fibre body and powered by a supercharged Toyota 3.5 litre V6 engine located behind the passenger compartment represents brilliance in composites technology and more than three years careful work. We can all wish!
