This international forum provides a means through which engineers, overhaul personnel, representatives of OEMs and suppliers get together to share information and solve mutual problems. Environmental issues are global, and we have to resolve them together. We liked the quality of the panel discussion personnel, as well as the quality and experience of the technical presentations. All papers presented and included in the Forum proceedings are eligible for the Garland Award.
Practical papers are very much in demand.
In the case of multiple authors, only one person is expected to present the paper. Only one person will receive the complimentary registration offered per paper. Twenty-five papers were presented. In addition to his responsibilities with the Forum, Doug serves the industry through his representation on various groups, such as the U.S. EPA Environmental Technologies Verification Program for the Metal Finishing Industry. Each year, Forum attendees vote for the Garland Award, given in recognition of the best paper presented at the Forum and published in the proceedings.
