The 1251 delegates attending 17th ICCM (International Conference on Composites) voted Montreal for the 19th ICCM hosting city, which is a great news for CACSMA and Concordia University

ICCM is the biggest conference on composites in the world. It is held once every two years in a country. ICCM is an international, non-governmental, not-for-profit, scientific and engineering organization dedicated to composite materials.
