The 2010 ADF Propulsion Systems Symposium was hosted by Engine Structural Integrity Section of the Directorate General Technical Airworthiness at RAAF Base Williams, Laverton (Melbourne) Victoria, on 17-19 March 2010. The event was attended by over 95 Defence, Defence contractor, foreign military, engine OEM and airworthiness authority representatives, and was a highly successful event.

2. Seeking improved value for money for the symposium dinner.
