CALL FOR PAPERS
If you were able to join us at the 2022 Australian Coatings Show what an amazing experience and opportunity for our industry to come together after the events of the preceding two years.
In 2023 the Committee have made the decision to make some changes – in addition to our technical program we will offer four paid speaker slots – two on each day of the program – where the presentations will be commercial in nature. The remainder of the program will continue with the strong technical focus that has underpinned the Australian Coatings Show.
Please contact technical@australian-coatings-show.com.au for more information if you’re interested in securing one of the four commercial speaker slots.
For technical papers: your paper could relate to new technologies, research, applications, methodologies, strategies, ideas or challenges that the industry may face in the future and must think about now. All technical papers are to be prepared to the level for publication in the standard scientific journal format – commercial names etc. are strongly discouraged with the focus to be on technically relevant information and data.
An abstract of the paper, together with details of the author/presenter, should be sent to the Technical committee for perusal prior to the conference. Details of the conference format and delivery of the presentation will be discussed with presenters when the final program has been set.
Please email technical@australian-coatings-show.com.au by Friday 16th December to express your interest in presenting at the 2023 Australian Coatings Show.
