A total of 131 abstracts have been submitted and will be reviewed by the Technical Committee during December and January.  A total of over 300 delegates from Australia and overseas are expected to attend providing an excellent forum for knowledge sharing and networking with Australian and International colleagues. Companies and specialist providers supporting the structural engineering industry are invited to support the conference through sponsorship and trade exhibition opportunities available.

The conference is to be held at the world standard Adelaide Convention Centre conveniently located in the heart of the city and only 7 kilometres from the Adelaide International Airport.
