The composites market continues to grow and more industries are using composites in mainstream applications. This is an opportunity to meet key players from the Atlantic Region and across Canada.

The 12th Canadian-International Conference on Composites, CANCOM 2022, will be held at universities in Fredericton (the capital of New Brunswick) and Moncton (the business hub of the province) between July 12 and 15, 2022.

Since its inception, CANCOM has been Canada's largest technical forum facilitating the exchange of technological know-how, state-of-art research, and innovation challenge related to composite materials, by bringing together Canadian and international delegates from industry, academia, government, non-governmental organizations, and vendor suppliers. Keeping industry focus at the centre, CANCOM 2022 has adopted "Research & Innovation in Composites" as its theme.

CANCOM 2022 will focus on research, technology and product development in emerging and growth sectors, in addition to the traditional fields of the application of composites - aerospace and transportation. This technical forum will facilitate the exchange of information and ideas about composite materials, design and processing, and structural performance by bringing together Canadian and international participants from industry, government and academia. 

The following session topic areas are being developed for CANCOM 2022:

• Characterization of Composites 
• Cold Spray, 3D/4D Printing
