The eighth conference in the very successful KES series from KES International will be hosted by Wellington Institute of Technology (WelTec) in Wellington, New Zealand. WelTec was formed in 2001 from the combination of two academic institutions including the highly respected Central Institute of Technology (CIT) well recognised for high technology research spanning more than 20 years. WelTec is the largest technical institute in the Wellington region with more than 10,000 students every year. Wellington is New Zealand’s Capital City, the seat of Government and the nation’s cultural heart.
