ICCM22 International Composite Material Conference

Back in Australia for the first time since 1997, the biennial International Conference on Composite Materials brings together 1500 professionals from around the world.  The day was headed with a keynote speech from Boeing's Director of Advance Materials, and followed by an industry panel discussion (including Furnace Engineering MD, Richard Simpson, as pictured) covering the trends in composites usage.  The conversation highlighted the expansion of composites usage in Aerospace, Automotive and other sectors.
