Workshops will be run each day. These will feature visiting speakers from several of the major instrument manufacturers. These workshops will focus on new techniques, new instrumentation and new software with the audience having the opportunity to direct specific questions to suppliers and, in many cases, having the opportunity to get some hands-on exposure to the latest technology.
Technical specialists from suppliers and manufacturers will have an opportunity of demonstrating latest software in relatively informal sessions.
For further information, please contact Alan Lawrenson, Business Manager SSAA. Telephone +61 2 9804 8051, Facsimile +61 2 9804 8052 or
