11th APCNDT Korea 2003

The 11th APCNDT was held on Jeju Island off the south tip of south Korea in June 2003 and was attended by Les Dick (Chairman) and Ian Baggott (Vice Chairman).

This conference was an opportunity for the NZNDTA to present its bid to host the next APCNDT in Auckland in 2006. After some healthy competition from other APC countries New Zealand eventually won the rights to host the 12th APCNDT.

This conference was attended by 500 delegates ( a record for APCNDT confernces) and over 200 technical papers were presented over the 4 days of the conference.
