Exhibition

The International Symposium on Experimental Vibration Analysis For Engineering Structures EVACES 2005 will allow professionals, around the world to exchange their view about the future of the profession.

The involvement of International Association of Bridge and Structural Engineering and of the French Association Civil Engineering represents an opportunity to meet all active professionals: contractors, suppliers, consulting engineers and academics.

The exhibition will give an opportunity to discover the latest methods and technologies, construction and testing equipments.

It is aimed at the major actors of the sector coming from both academic and professional worlds: research laboratories and universities, scientific societies, software companies, materials manufacturers, firms, private and public engineering consulting firms, with a special attention for the experts.

This exhibition will promote the relationships between professionals by enabling:
 the exhibitors to present and promote the most efficient equipment, software and job solutions as well as meeting French and international experts;
 the participants to compare products and abilities, to have access to the latest information and to receive the most judicious information. Both groups will be able to turn a friendly moment into a professionally useful one.

A special room near the conference room will be devoted to the exhibition. Coffee breaks will be served closed to this room.
