Record numbers of people attended the most recent of the Filtration Society's popular one-day technical meetings. Held in Chester (UK) on 19 November 2009, the meeting focused on advances in filter media. Seven speakers and representatives from 11 exhibiting companies joined the 70 delegates for a programme that ranged from an update on filter media markets, through filter classification and regulatory requirements, to details of the latest high performance media. A well subscribed poster session featuring 5-minute oral presentations also attracted a great deal of interest.
The Filtration Society's Science Correspondent Dr Graham Rideal, is pleased that the programme appealed to such a wide audience. "Our one-day technical meetings have become enormously popular and now attract delegates from around the world," he said. "In today's climate, if you take a day out of your schedule to attend a conference, you need to be confident that it is time well spent. When arranging the programme for these meetings we aim to deliver focused content that provides a uniquely valuable day for those who need to know about specific aspects of filtration. Positive feedback from delegates suggests that this really is a successful approach."
The Filtration Society's one-day meeting format, from which all delegates receive a bound set of notes, is proving highly successful, with attendee numbers growing year on year. Delegates are drawn from many areas, including process engineers, designers, technical and R&D personnel, research institutes and industry decision makers.
