The theme of the Conference "Research into Practice" covering materials, research, design, construction and innovation provided a forum for the sharing of ideas and experience through formal presentations, industry displays and contact between delegates. It was the concrete industry's pre-eminent technical and social event in the southern hemisphere for 2015.

Best Regards,

Craig Heidrich

Concrete 2015

Bump-in was on Sunday afternoon ready for an early start on Monday morning. The exhibit included displays of safely manuals, stickers, logbooks and the all-important chocolate to attract delegates. An iPad was used to feature the Association’s website and proved a useful tool in demonstrating to delegates how simple it was to find product, member and safety information on our website.

The Conference began with registrations at 8.00am with the plenary sessions underway by 9.00.am. The Concrete Pumping Association of Australia booth was manned during all breakout sessions. Over the duration of the Conference many domestic and international delegates were keen to ask technical questions in regard to the end uses of the products displayed.

Craig Heidrich and staff from HBM Group, Carol Wilson, Aiden Chilcott & Lauren Hatton, assisted over the three-day event. Their assistance, as always, was valuable and greatly appreciated.

Conference highlights included
∗ 7 keynote speakers
