Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the organizing committee and all of those who have been involved in the preparation for the 19th International Conference on Composite Materials (ICCM19), we wish to welcome all participants of ICCM19. It is our great honor and pleasure to host ICCM19 in Montreal for the first time.

We expect about 1600 participants from around the world representing 47 countries. ICCM19 continues to succeed in the tradition of the ICCM as the biggest and the best conference in composite materials with the contribution of all the participants and the related societies from all over the world. Also it will offer the perfect opportunity to meet colleagues and make friends working in the exciting field of composites.

In ICCM19, the scientific program has been organized into multidisciplinary sessions for specialists in composite materials and its related fields. We have planned 8 plenary lectures and 10 key note lectures. For ICCM19, we have introduced a new format for the poster presentations. This allows the poster presenters more assured audience and more opportunities for presentation. There are about 230 oral sessions (about 1000 oral presentations) and 17 poster sessions (about 200 poster presentations). ICCM19 will provide every participant the best platform to discuss the cutting edge issues which arise from the broad areas of composite materials.

We wish to take this opportunity to thank all the sponsors, and supporters for their generous support for ICCM19. We would like to convey our sincere gratitude to the international members for their valuable support as well as to the members of the ICCM19 organizing committee for their tremendous efforts in making ICCM19 a success.

We wish all of you a fruitful meeting and we hope that you will benefit from the rich scientific discussions, and that your visit to Montreal will last as a pleasant memory.

Professor Suong Van Hoa, General Chair of ICCM19
Professor Pascal Hubert, Technical program chair of ICCM19

ICCM 19 in Montreal with its theme of Composite Materials: The Great Advance is ready to inspire all of us with a rewarding week of presentations, conversations and reflections as we greet old friends and make new ones. The premier tenet of ICCM is its commitment to bring together all facets of global academic, industrial and government scientists, engineers, faculty and students who dream beyond "possibilities" as they shape the advances in composites. Let this week serve as a catalyst for future collaborations and discoveries until we meet again in Copenhagen in 2015 at ICCM 20.

President, ICCM
