The AFI 57th National Conference – Registration Now Open !!
It is with great excitement that the Australian Foundry Institute (AFI) Victorian Branch is pleased to announce it will be hosting the 57th National Conference, to be held from 26th to 28th October, 2023 in Melbourne, Australia.
As the largest and most prestigious annual gathering of foundry professionals, researchers, and experts in Australia, this is an event not to be missed. The 2023 conference will bring together industry experts from overseas as well as many from Australia to present the latest advances in casting and foundry technology and share insights on industry trends and best practices. Come and learn how to continue to flourish and innovate.
We are delighted to once again feature John Campbell as the keynote speaker, who many of you would be familiar with. However, do not make the mistake of believing you’ve heard it all before!! John will present a pathway to the future of cast products that he’s applied in practice. Tomorrow’s aluminium, iron, steel, nickel-based and copper-based castings can be free from defects, provide metals that will not fracture or fail in service, produce products that engineers can trust with confidence. At no time in metal casting history has the future for cast metals been so exciting.
In addition, the conference will include technical presentations and discussions on topics ranging from occupational health and safety, materials science, moulding as well as sustainability and environmental developments within our industry. Importantly, attendees will also have ample opportunity to participate in networking and social events.
The conference venue - the Marriott Hotel - is located in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, with all the additional benefits that this offers.
Registration is now open, with early-bird discounts available for those who register before August 31st, 2023. Don’t hesitate – lock in your registration now!!
