The Australian X-ray Analytical Association Inc. (AXAA) 2008 Schools, Advanced Workshops, Conference and Exhibition was held from 4 to 8 February at The Grand Hyatt, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

It was an opportunity for those working in the fields of laboratory X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods, complementary synchrotron radiation and neutron scattering techniques; and other related techniques to join with their colleagues for the five days of stimulating discussion, knowledge sharing and networking.

The new-look AXAA Schools and Conference maintained its traditional emphasis on laboratory XRD and XRF, but also included substantial coverage of the exciting new diffraction and fluorescence techniques available at synchrotron radiation and neutron beam facilities. The final day of the conference was a site visit to the new Australian Synchrotron.
