Theme: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow- 300 Years of Quality
On the eve of Queensland's 150 year anniversary of independence as a separate State/Colony from the shackles of the south we will look at how Quality has contributed to the growth of this great State that started with only a "couple of bob" in Treasury and has become a driving force in the National economy.
The intent of this conference is to examine the journey of Quality over the last 150 years and how Quality has developed over this time to where we are today, how we are applying current quality principles today, and learn from this to develop the tools and principles that will lead us into the next 150 years.
Papers, presentations and workshops are solicited from all industry sectors that have made Queensland great such as mining, manufacturing, farming, hospitality, health, aerospace, media, services, government, charities and not-for-profits.
