Welcome to the website of the 24th Congress of the Australian Institute of Physics, co-locating with the Australian and New Zealand Conference on Optics and Photonics (ANZCOP), the 2022 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices (COMMAD), and the 7th International Workshop on Speciality Optical Fibers (WSOF).

The combined Congress will be held in Adelaide, South Australia, over Sunday 11th - Friday 16th December 2022, with the Pre-Conference Workshop and Congress Reception taking place on Sunday, December 11th.

The Congress venue is the Adelaide Convention Centre, conveniently located on the picturesque banks of the Torrens Lake in the heart of the city.

Local tours for Congress attendees

Local tour company Adelaide Sightseeing has partnered with the Congress in order to provide delegates with discounted rates on a number of their tours.
Please see here for more details on conditions and applicable tours.




Email Scams

It seems that, unfortunately, Congress attendees have started to become recipients of scam emails related to this event.
In the first instance, this has been related to accomodations bookings, where a delegate received a spurious email purporting to require a response from the delegate in order to ensure that an accommodation booking would be confirmed and secured.
It is strongly suggested that if you receive any seemingly dubious communication regarding your attendance at the Congress (whether that be regarding accommodation, travel, etc), that you carefully check the source of that communication, its wording, and all details therein.
If you have any doubts on the veracity and authenticity of that message, do not respond to it, or use any links or contact details within that message. If needed, contact the relevant people (hotel, airline, the AIPC organisers, etc) independently.
The "information" used thus far has been nothing more than basic details which can be obtained easily and directly from this and other websites, and this was a clue as to the unsavoury origin of the message.



COVID-19 Policy

While masks are not mandatory inside the Adelaide Convention Centre, the Congress organisers strongly suggest that you wear a mask where practical during the event. This will help to keep you and others safe while enjoying everything the Congress has to offer.
As of Saturday, 14 May, 2022, visitors to the Adelaide Convention Centre are not required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination in order to gain entry.
The Adelaide Convention Centre remains committed to providing a COVID-Safe environment for all guests and has a comprehensive COVID Management Plan in place, which has been approved by the South Australian Government.
If you are attending an upcoming event at the Adelaide Convention Centre, we ask that you please play your part and help us be COVID Safe by practising proper hand hygiene; adhering to physical distancing by maintaining 1.5m from others where possible; and staying home if you feel unwell.
Please note, as part of our practices to provide a safe and secure environment, access to the Adelaide Convention Centre at this time is for registered event attendees only; there is no public thoroughfare to access the Adelaide Riverbank Promenade.
