Message from the SimTecT Convenor
The SIAA is once again proud to be hosting SimTecT, Australasia's premier simulation and related technologies conference and exhibition. SimTecT 2001 brings together the region's leading simulation practitioners, users and policy makers. The extensive SimTecT 2001 technical program will consists of over 70 technical papers, highly focused workshops and Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings.We are particularly excited about expanding SimTecT beyond Defence to embrace simulation in the Medical, Manufacturing and Building and Construction industries. The local and international keynote speakers will again be a highlight, and reflect the diversity of industries making practical use of simulation.
The SimTecT 2001 exhibition will showcase the current state of the simulation art from Australia and around the world. I encourage you take the time to see what is possible.
SimTecT 2001 will be held at the Exhibition Park In Canberra (EPIC). International delegates will enjoy visiting the Australian capital's art galleries, war memorials, and other tourist attractions. Highlights of the social program include the always entertaining Conference dinner at Parliament House. We look forward to the networking opportunities provided. This is a wonderful opportunity to share the experience of diverse industries in order to maximise the benefits for all participants from the utilisation of simulation.
The combination of the world class technical program and world class exhibition make SimTecT 2001 the highlight of our region's simulation calendar. I look forward to seeing you there.
