    This paper constitutes a part of the author's PhD thesis. The paper focus on conformal manifolds. The notion of asymptotical flat Weyl structure and that of the associated mass is defined. The associated mass generalizes the Riemann case and has invariance properties on sub-classes of metrics. The dependence on the subclasses is studied. Conformal Lichnerowicz formulas with and without boundary term are established. The mass of asymptotically flat Weyl structures appears naturally in the boundary term of the integral. It is shown and proven a conformal version of the positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat Weyl structures on conformal spin manifolds.
