With less than four weeks to go, the countdown to the largest corrosion conference in the Southern Hemisphere, Corrosion & Prevention 2018, has begun. Adelaide will host some of the world's leading researchers and practitioners in the field of corrosion management prevention. Delegates will travel from all parts of the globe to share their knowledge and experience.
Held on 11-14 November, this major event will showcase the latest advancements in corrosion prevention and management. More than 400 delegates are expected to attend from a broad range of industries including protective coatings, water, defence, building and construction, mining, oil & gas, cathodic protection, power and more.
The event will also feature a trade exhibition with more than 60 exhibitors showcasing the latest products and services. This year's exhibition will provide the opportunity for corrosion professionals, interested parties and the general public an opportunity to meet with the exhibitors. There will also be a demonstration zone for exhibitors to showcase a product and give those interested the chance to ask questions and be hands on over the lunch break period.
In addition to the quality technical program and trade exhibition, Corrosion & Prevention 2018 will also include a new addition to the event – an Applicator Trade Day to be held on Tuesday 13 November. Presented by the ACA and BlastOne International, the Applicator Trade Day will include a BlastOne site visit demonstrating mist and vapour blasting equipment, traditional blasting equipment, spray equipment, dust collector and vacuload and interceptor training.
Corrosion & Prevention 2018 would not be complete without the social program that attendees have come to know and love. This year's event is no exception, with a wide variety of social functions all featuring top class entertainment, gourmet food and wine. Partners attending can take part in the Partner Program which includes a Barossa Valley Food and Wine Experience, Jurlique Farm and Hahndorf tour and a Private Central Market Tour that will take you on a sensory interactive gourmet experience
