SimTecT 2005
Event Date/Time: May 09, 2005 | End Date/Time: May 12, 2005 |
Early Registration Date: Mar 18, 2005 |
Description
SimTecT 2005 will be held at the Darling Harbour Convention Centre in Sydney, Australia, from 9 to 12 May 2005.
The theme reflects looking back over past successes, and forward to future challenges, because this is the 10th Anniversary of SimTecT - and there are some special presentations and events planned!
SimTecT has been held annually since 1996, and is becoming the premier simulation conference in the Australasian region.
A feature is the quality of the papers, largely because of the contribution of the Defence Science Technology Organisation to the Technical Committee which vets the papers.
The timetable is:
Monday 9 May: Workshops, Welcome Reception and the SimTecT Golf Challenge
Tuesday 10 to Thursday morning 12 May: Conference and Exhibition
Thursday 12 May afternoon: Site visits
See www.simtect.com for further details.
