The Australian Institute for Non-Destructive Testing welcomes all members and associates of the international non-destructive testing community to the 10th Asia-Pacific Conference on Non-Destructive Testing in Brisbane, Australia. This conference, will focus on Technology 2001 and Beyond. The technical program has been designed to reflect the advances in NDT through the twentieth century, consolidate the technology of today and direct our path into the future. An official event on Australia's Centenary of Federation program, the conference has attracted delegates, speakers and dignitaries from all branches of the manufacturing, mining, aerospace, power and petrochemical industries as well as from the military, research establishments and universities. In addition to the comprehensive technical program, the conference will also feature an exhibition of the latest NDT systems, technical tours and a full social program, including options for accompanying persons. We extend our warmest welcome to all speakers, delegates and accompanying persons who have travelled to Brisbane to contribute to this important event.
