The PANIC meeting is intended to address topics that occur daily in industrial, government, and academic research laboratories whose primary task entails the application of NMR to a diverse set of analytical problems. Topics include quantitation, molecular structure characterization, trace component and mixture analysis, and product support for a variety of materials that include small molecules, polymers, heterogeneous mixtures, natural products, biosimilars, polysaccharides, and proteins. The conference provides in-depth discussions of the “nuts and bolts” of basic NMR experiments that accent the underlying best-practices developed to address these everyday problems. It also explores the regulatory aspects of the applications of these experiments.

Change is always a constant in IT circles, but never have the foundations of ICT service delivery been impacted as much than by the transition to an as-a-service ICT model. The time for talk has given way to a need for action and practical strategies to enable IT leaders and practitioners to commence their transitions to ICT as-a-service. But where do you start? This conference brings together the true innovators in public sector IT, who will be outlining their vision and practical insights that will help overcome the challenges associated with a transition to ICT as-a-service.

The Chief Scientist of Australia has highlighted the need for a co ordinated national approach to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education to tackle the STEM skills shortage. Universities, schools and businesses need to be strengthening and increasing collaboration to improve STEM education and training. A crucial priority is how we can change the system to ensure that we are producing graduates that meet the needs of employers.

As the mining boom ends, the pressure is on infrastructure projects to be the next driver of national economic growth. Across Australia, major infrastructure and local capital works projects are moving forward with commitment from the 2014 federal budget. However, capital projects must satisfy intense scrutiny; from the planning and approvals process, right through to delivery. Bringing together over $16 billion worth of Local, State and Private Sector projects; this conference will examine the unique challenges and intricate relationships that project communicators must navigate, and how communication and engagement needs vary across the life of a project.

Your board expects improved clarity, quicker results and transparent operations to drive growth and deliver profitability. Successful Finance functions now offer the same cost-control and risk management as their outdated counterparts, but are faster, commercially focused and more dynamic – adding value by creating synergies between razor-sharp accounting, commercially focused planning and analysis and effective cash management and forecasting. Are you making the most of the industry shift, or languishing in outdated process, with generic tools and dinosaur strategy? Finance Transformation Summit & Corporate Finance Boardrooms 2015 focuses way beyond traditional lift and shift, and enables you to harness the latest trends and best-in-class strategies and tools to galvanise your ...

The European edition of the FPSO World Congress comes to London.

BIM is about the way we work and how we work – the benefits BIM delivers throughout a project’s life cycle and the cost savings are substantial. A cultural change is required if BIM is to be properly implemented across built environment and property, ahead of the Government’s 2016 deadline for its use on all centrally procured public sector projects. The BIM value proposition includes having a greater understanding of the entire life cycle process. It is important to understand the value proposition from the beginning so that we can better understand the end results. Customers are not getting the assets and the outcomes they want or need, hence BIM has a huge part to play in ensuring properties are received with better outcomes. Therefore, this conference will assess the where the real ...

Directed Energy Systems hold the promise of revolutionising warfare, but their adoption on the front line remains elusive. Nevertheless, recent developments, including the trails on board USS Ponce indicate the fielding of DES is becoming a closer reality. Challenges of power, size, ruggedization and heat capacity remain key inhibitors to their effective, practical and safe use. Military applications for blocking enemy electronics and communications, protecting convoys in high risk IED zones, and systems able to protect critical areas and equipment, as well as new and exciting systems for police and civil enforcement deployment, are all driving continued research and development in DES. With unrivalled international participation, Directed Energy Systems 2015 is the perfect ...
