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.
