An interactive forum where transducer science meets micro-nano technology.

APCOT 2028 will provide an interactive forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research across all areas of transducer science and micro-nano technology — plenary lectures, contributed oral and poster presentations, industry sessions, and an exhibition showcasing the latest commercial technologies and instrumentation.

The 2028 edition convenes on Australia’s east coast, chaired by Prof. Dzung Viet Dao of Griffith University. It is an ideal platform for researchers at all career stages (from postgraduate students to established academics and industry professionals) to build networks, establish collaborations, and explore opportunities across the Asia-Pacific and internationally.
