ANZIAM, a division of the Australian Mathematical Society, is the professional association for industrial and applied mathematics in Australia and New Zealand. The annual conference of ANZIAM is an established gathering of applied mathematicians, scientists and engineers, which will be hosted by the New South Wales Branch in 2008. The venue is the Carrington Hotel in Katoomba. Katoomba is in the centre of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, 2 hours by train or car from Sydney.

Contributed talks and posters on all areas of applied mathematics are welcome for inclusion in the conference abstracts. Students talks are especially encouraged and will be eligible for the T.M.
