As reported two weeks ago, organizers for GéoMontréal 2013 have extended the deadline for submission of abstracts to February 1. All interested participants in this event are strongly encouraged to submit their abstracts immediately. The conference will be held at the Hilton Montreal Bonaventure Hotel in Montreal, Quebec, Canada 29 September – 3 October 2013. Organized by the Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS) in collaboration with the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH/CNC) and the North American Geosynthetics Society (NAGS), GeoMontreal provides an exceptional opportunity to interact with the entire North American geotechnical community.
The geosynthetics field should play a strong role in this 66th Canadian Geotechnical Conference. The theme “Geoscience for Sustainability” ties in with much of the current research and marketing of geosynthetic materials. Increasingly, research helps define the more precise scientific data underlying the use of geosynthetics from a sustainability perspective, such as in the dramatic reduction of raw material needs (e.g., aggregate) and how that decreases site carbon footprints.
REMINDER: EXHIBIT SPACE IS LIMITED
GeoMontreal 2013’s attendance is expected to surpass 700 delegates. The trade show will feature the participation of firms in the geotechnical, hydrogeological and geosynthetics sectors. Capped at 55 booths, it is expected to sell out soon, so companies interested in exhibiting should contact the organizers immediately and confirm their space. Full details and registration forms can be found on the Trade Exhibition pages of the conference website or contact the Conference Administrator directly at sponsors@geomontreal2013.ca to make your booking.
