Technical Papers Committee
Since the very first IBC in 1967, the event has been recognised as the place to unveil the latest in engineering innovation and technological thinking. The technical papers programme remains the cornerstone of the conference. The technical papers committee is drawn from the leading engineers and technologists available, which carefully peer review each paper submitted - therefore, only truly innovative work is presented at IBC.
