MSA 2011 Conference Update September 8th 2011

We have made minor changes to provide more Melbourne airport to Deakin options.  Please refer to the finalised conference program and the paper titles for more information on the conference activities.

The MSA shuttle bus service is free of charge and provided by the MSA to assist delegates to get to and from the Deakin venue.  The Gull bus service is a commercial bus service between Melbourne airport and Geelong CBD and is an alternative to an estimated $200 taxi fare.  A 15 minute taxi trip is required between Geelong CBD and the Deakin Management Centre.

The attached map should be used to assist those driving themselves to get to the Deakin Management Centre.  The conference venue includes all amenities for delegates including all conference activities and accommodation.  Transfers to the conference dinner at the Werribee Open Plain Zoo will be provided by the MSA.

Please note this list is subject to change based on review and later submissions.

MSA 2011 Conference Update August 15th 2011

To assist interstate and international travellers the MSA will be providing bus transport from Melbourne Airport to the conference venue. 

We will have a bus departing Melbourne airport from a point to be announced at 4:30 pm and again at 7:00 pm on Wednesday 19 October. 

The trip to Deakin is about 90 minutes.  If you can arrange your travel to meet these bus times this will avoid costly cab fares.

A Climate for Better Measurement

Deakin Management and Convention Centre

Geelong

19-21 October 2011

The Metrology Society of Australia is holding its biennial conference in Geelong at the Deakin Management and Convention Centre from 19th to 21st October, 2011. This modern facility includes a generous gathering area, a number of presentation rooms of different sizes and onsite accommodation for over 60 delegates.  The MSA has secured the entire facility for the duration of our conference so delegates and exhibitors can conveniently interact, attend the presentations and conduct private meetings in the generous foyer or in private break out rooms.

Please visit www.managementcentre.com.au for more detailed information about the venue.

The theme of the conference is:

A Climate for Better Measurement

This is the first call for papers and expressions of interest and a brief abstract of no more than 150 words should be submitted by 15th June.  Submissions should be forwarded by email to:

Successful applicants will be notified by 22nd June.  We anticipate papers will need to be submitted by 15th August. Further details on the conference venue, time line for activities and conference fees will be published shortly in TAM and on the MSA web site.  The conference will include at least two technical forums:

  1. The Dimensional sub group will hold a forum on training and use of Coordinate Measuring Machines including GD&T and GPS, the language of this field.  An international expert has been invited to co-chair this forum. (Greg Hetland from USA)

  2. The Pressure sub group will hold a forum to review the application and acceptance of the MSA test methods for pressure metrologists.  This group will also discuss the issues associated with the application of Dead Weight Testers outside the range of testing used to characterise the piston cylinder unit.

  3. Other forums will be considered based on anticipate attendees

The 2 ½ day conference will start of Wednesday 19th October with a welcome barbeque from about 4:00 pm followed by the 2 day technical program on 20-21 October with a conference dinner at the Werribee Zoo on the 20th.
