ACAD’s summer meetings kick off in the second week of June and run through the month. There are six regional dates, together with a remote event for which the details are yet to be confirmed.

2022 sees the fifth annual asbestos conference, organised by the British Occupational Hygiene Society in conjunction with the Faculty of Asbestos Assessment and Management (FAAM). More commonly known as the FAAM conference, it’s an in-person event, featuring researchers, academics, practitioners and regulators from across the industry.
The 2022 programme is set to include UK and international speakers dealing with scientific topics covering key areas regarding the assessment, control and management of asbestos. There’s also a new ‘digital delegate pass’, offering recordings of all sessions from the two-day event.

Bristol Marriott Hotel
Airmon is the leading international forum for air monitoring. The tenth instance of the event was previously scheduled for September 2021, but has now been rearranged for November 2022. It will build on previous conferences, providing an exciting programme. Thought-provoking keynote presentations will be combined with oral presentation sessions. Presentations from students or early-career researchers are warmly encouraged, and short training courses, delivered by experts in their field, are an integral component of this event.
10-11 November 2022
Van der Valk Hotel Oostzaan, Amsterdam
We’re delighted to be returning to the EAF conference, after its enforced two-year hiatus during the pandemic. It’s a unique event: a place where professionals and asbestos victims alike can go to share their experiences, enjoying networking and social events to help build a close asbestos ‘family’.
Not the least of the experts attending will be EAF founder and president Dr Yvonne Waterman MFAAM herself. This year Yvonne is putting together a conference programme on the theme of ‘Asbestos and the State of the Art’. Expect workshops, and top global speakers profiling new science and innovations. There’s also an exclusive excursion to visit a metal foundry that denatures and recycles asbestos-contaminated steel.
If you’re hosting, postponing or cancelling an event you’d like us to list here, please get in touch.
