SYMPOSIUM NEWS
Preparation for this year’s symposium, which will take place at the Novotel St Kilda Hotel from 8 – 10 September 2010, is progressing well. The final program has been published, the Symposium Proceedings have been printed, and the venue is ready to welcome delegates for the Workshops on Wednesday and the Papers and Tutorials on Thursday and Friday. Exhibitors have been allocated spaces in the Exhibitor area, and a tutorial area set aside for the in-depth tutorials which will run in parallel with the Technical paper sessions.

EMCSA Symposium 2010
The Electromagnetic Compatibility Society of Australia (EMCSA) is a technical society of the Institution of Engineers Australia (Engineers Australia). The Society operates to promote the science and practice of Electromagnetic Compatibility throughout Australia. The EMCSA works in close co-operation with the Victorian Chapter of the IEEE EMC Society (EMCS).
For the past eight years the EMCSA has held an annual EMC Symposium in September. Last year’s Symposium was held in Adelaide South Australia. This year the Symposium returns to Melbourne and will be held at the Novotel Hotel in St Kilda, Melbourne from Wednesday 8 September to Friday 10 September.
The Symposium will be run under the Technical Co-sponsorship of the EMCSA and the IEEE EMCS.
Technical papers will be presented in 30-minutes slots during the normal sessions; parallel to them ‘practical’ presentations will run for 90 minutes and cover material in a more tutorial-like style. Thus the symposium will cater for a wider range of tastes than in the past: academics might find some interesting theoretical papers, newcomers to the scene might find some of the ‘practical’ presentations helpful, and EMC practitioners might find the exhibition a place to spend some time.
Topics to be addressed at the symposium range from EMC regulation and standardization, to design issues and problem solving, to analysis and numerical modelling.
Coffee and lunch breaks, and the symposium Dinner on Thursday night, will provide good opportunities to meet with presenters and delegates.
Trade Exhibition
The popular Trade Exhibition featuring displays and demonstrations of EMC products and services has attracted considerable support from vendors and services and will run again this year during Thursday and Friday. An additional feature of the exhibition will be extended practical tutorial sessions running in parallel with the technical program for those seeking deeper exposure to the products and services. The EMC vendors attending will be a valuable source of accessible information on EMC.
Exhibitors at the Symposium include: CST, Airmet, FEKO, EMC Technologies, TMG Test Equipment, leap Australia, Westek, and Test & Measurement Australia.
Applications can still be accepted from manufacturers, agents and service providers to exhibit at the trade exhibition. Details of facilities, requirements and terms and conditions are available from the organising committee. For details go to Exhibitor Information. Contact for the Exhibition is Sue Dymond (03) 9029 7561 email.
