Industry experts will gather and present at the Australasian Corrosion Association’s Corrosion & Prevention 2016 Conference in New Zealand (C&P2016) this November.
Presenters will deliver six plenary addresses—including the PF Thompson Lecture—and 83 presentations across four technical streams, in addition to seven forums. Staged in Auckland’s Sky City Convention Centre between 13-16 November 2016, C&P2016 will bring together leading researchers and industry practitioners who combat corrosion on a daily basis. More than 450 delegates are expected to attend the conference and extensive exhibition of key industry suppliers.
The diverse technical streams will showcase the latest developments in corrosion prevention, management and mitigation. The broad themes of the technical seminars are coatings, concrete & asset management, the oil & gas and offshore industry, and research. Topics covered will range from fundamental corrosion science to hands-on application including advances in sensing & monitoring; asset management; cathodic protection; concrete corrosion and repair; corrosion mechanisms, modelling and prediction; materials selection and design, and protective coatings.
Dr Patricia Shaw, Better Buildings Research Team Leader at BRANZ, will deliver the PF Thompson Memorial Lecture in 2016 covering the corrosion of polymeric materials. The lecture commemorates the work of corrosion science pioneer, P F Thompson, and has been delivered every year at the ACA’s annual conference since 1951.
As in past years, C&P2016 will give delegates many opportunities to network with colleagues and peers, in addition to being a source for the latest information concerning corrosion prevention, control and repair.
