Details from the 2012 GO Carbon Fiber
The 2012 GOCarbonFibre conference was hailed as the best event for 10 years by a number of participants, and all who were there were in agreement on the high quality of the presentations and debate. A big thanks from the organisers, Smithers Rapra, to the Speakers and CoChairs who made it all happen.
Don't take our word for it, however, here's what the audience thought:
"This conference is a decisive event for the carbon fibre industry, it provides excellent technical insights from experts, a wide audience from various sectors and last but not least a wonderful opportunity for networking. I am looking forward to attending again in the future."

"Thank you for providing the industry with such a professionally organized conference last week, very refreshing to attend an event with such valuable content and comprehensive networking opportunity.
