Welcome to the PacRim 9 website.
This is the second time the Australian Ceramic Society has hosted this truly international meeting and networking event. Once more it will be held at the multi-award winning Cairns Convention Centre in far north Queensland, "Where the rainforest meets the reef".
The first in the series of PacRim conferences on Ceramic and Glass Technology, was hosted by the American Ceramics Society in Hawaii in 1993. Since then it has been hosted by a number of ceramic societies around the Pacific Rim.

The Australian Ceramic Society has teamed up with Materials Australia, Australia's peak materials technology body, to operate PacRim 9.
This event also presents a fantastic opportunity for scientific and process equipment manufacturers, service providers and other commercial organisations, to showcase their products and services to a high quality audience brought together at a single venue. Exhibition and sponsorship opportunities will be put onto the website in due course.
I personally would like to invite you to come to Australia, attend PacRim9, Austceram 2011 and AFPG-9, present your work, network with leading world experts, visit the technical exhibition and enjoy the spectacular scenery around Cairns.
See you in July 2011
