Geosynthetics 2003 will be held 10-13 February 2003 at the Cobb Galleria in Atlanta. It will be a very different event than in the past. It will not be sponsored by NAGS but only by IFAI and GMA. The emphasis will not be on technical papers subjected to peer review but on “How to —” sessions and
the “proceedings” will be a book with different “How to —-” chapters written by invited practical experts. Dave Suits will be chairman of the
conference. Exhibitors will have the opportunity to present their own mini-workshops/seminars. The conference will be heavily promoted internationally. Look out for further details in early September.
Contact dfettig@ifai.com. This perhaps opens the door for NAGS and the Geo-Institute to introduce a more scientific geosynthetics conference.
