PROGAM DEVELOPMENT

The conference is currently searching the world for speakers. We have already enlisted a number of informative presentations and searching for more. The program should be finalized by April 2004.

We are planning to cover topics on the latest developments on technology and markets. Fiber cement is experiencing substantial growth in many important markets around the world. This conference plans to examine what is happening.

IMPORTANT CONTACTS

A major part of the benefit gained from this conference is the opportunity to meet and contact key decision makers in the manufacturing and marketing these composites. You will learn through both formal presentations and individual contacts. Many such contacts occur during this conference and business networking is routine.

THE WORLD IN ONE PLACE

Fiber-cement and multiple other related technologies are extensively manufactured around the world. Manufacturers, potential customers, key suppliers and experts gather in this conference for a global meeting place to learn and develop business relationships. The conference makes every effort to facilitate these meetings and interactions.

PLAN TO BE THERE

You do not want to miss out on this conference to learn what is happening in your business and learn of developing markets and new concepts.

PLANT TOUR

We are planning to incorporate a plant tour of a one of a kind manufacturing operation for the Tuesday afternoon segment of the conference. DO NOT MISS THIS UNIQUE CHANCE TO SEE WHAT THE POTENTIAL OF THESE TECHNOLOGIES ARE!

During the last conference, we were delighted that we had representatives from more countries than in prior conferences.

Here is a listing of the 27 countries in attendance. In many cases, there were several top-level representatives from each of these nations:

Speakers
The conference will have global speakers in the field of fiber cement and other related technologies and markets. What are the new developments? What new or existing markets are changing? How are we addressing the demands of the market place? How are we dealing with the need for low cost raw material? What innovations are taking place in manufacturing?

The speakers we are seeking are asked to address one or more of these questions. If you would like to make a presentation on these or similar topics, the conference welcomes your participation.

We have already secured some outstanding speakers but need more. Our search continues and could include YOU.

Please send us an EMAIL with a brief abstract about a paragraph or so long. We will get back to you within a short time. We must line up all of our speakers within the next few months.

Exhibitors
Here is an opportunity to reach to your global customer. Participants are key decision makers in manufacturing and other aspects of fiber cement and similar technologies. Do you want to reach these future customers? This conference is a cost effective way to reach those customers. The exhibits are visited during the entire conference period. Here is your chance to show what your company offers to these manufacturers. Exhibits are easy to organize and inexpensive.

The conference makes every attempt to bring exhibitors and conference participants together to discuss business opportunities.

The conference in 2004 will be held at the PAN PACIFIC HOTEL in the heart of downtown Vancouver. It is a waterfront hotel with breath takings views of the harbor, the mountains and downtown.

A CORDIAL INVITATION:

Developing this international conference is a task that I personally enjoy doing.

Substantial opportunities await those who keep up with happenings and make the needed decisions. A good place to find out the latest developments is by attending this once-every-two year conference. I invite you to join us in the beautiful city of Vancouver for 2 ½ days of learning, networking and fun.
