The Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS) in collaboration with the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH/CNC) and the North American Geosynthetics Society (NAGS) will host GéoMontréal 2013, the 66th Canadian Geotechnical Conference and the 11th Joint CGS/IAH-CNC Groundwater Conference. The conference will be held at the Hilton Montreal Bonaventure Hotel, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, 29 September – 3 October 2013.
The theme for GéoMontréal 2013 is “Geoscience for Sustainability.” This theme will examine how the three host associations invest in the progress necessary to create an innovative and prosperous economy that is ecologically and socially responsible. The organizers intend to weave the conference theme throughout the technical program and social activities and to remind delegates of this important goal in their professional work.
More than 700 delegates are expected at this year’s installment.
The official languages for the conference will be French and English.
