WELCOMEOn behalf of the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society (AFMS) and the Conference Organisation, we are pleased to invite you to sponsor the 22nd Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference (AFMC2020) which will be hosted by both The Queensland University of Technology and The University of Queensland in Brisbane in December 2020.

The Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference series is the premier fluid mechanics conference in the region. The AFMC2020 is organised in collaboration with the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society and will bring together leading Australian and international scientists, engineers, educators and research students with common interests in fluid mechanics. The upcoming event will be the 22nd in a successful series of conferences which includes Adelaide (2018), Perth (2016), Melbourne (2014), Launceston (2012), and Auckland (2010).

In this prospectus you will find a wide range of opportunities, from major sponsorship packages to student prize sponsorship, which we are confident will provide the level of promotion and engagement your company needs.

We look forward to your participation in AFMC2020 in Brisbane.
