GeoFlorida 2010 – Day 1

The annual geo-congress of the Geo-Institute of ASCE is being held in West Palm Beach, Florida right now. This is an almost unfairly convenient location for Geosynthetica, as we are headquartered in West Palm Beach (about 1 mile from the conference site).

Early on here at GeoFlorida 2010, members of the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS) Council met to discuss society business (such as the 9th International Conference on Geosynthetics [9ICG], which will be held in Brazil in May). And last night, the exhibit hall opened with a reception for GeoFlorida attendees.

Some photos from the exhibit hall opening follow. Time permitting, we will post more updates from the event:

Scenes from the opening reception (including our industry colleague Malek Bouaza catching us catching him and giving us a wave).

Right: Be sure your IGS membership is up-to-date! And for those based in North America, we hope you will also re-up or add chapter membership in the North American Geosynthetics Society (NAGS).
