In particular, the society in concerned with the electric and magnetic fields associated with electrical power and telecommunications systems. BEMS is an international society with members from approximately 40 different countries and regions around the world.

Attendees also meet with other professionals in the field, in both formal and informal settings, to extend their network of scientific contacts.

BEMS provides a forum for researchers, practitioners, regulators, governmental authorities and industry to meet annual in a congenial and productive environment. BEMS provides an update of recent research and thereby gives advice to stakeholders, to government, industry and environmental organisations.
The 2012 meeting in Brisbane is the first BEMS meeting in Oceania and recognises the significant scientific and technical achievements in this part of the world, as well as the global impact of bioelectromagnetics as a scientific discipline.
The world class venue will enable the 2012 BEMs meeting to become a memorable event.
I do hope that you can join us
