The 70th Canadian Geotechnical Conference and 12th Joint CGS/IAH-CNC Groundwater Conference, GeoOttawa 2017, closed on October 4 after hosting over 900 delegates, sponsors, exhibitors and guests to four days of plenary and technical sessions, workshops, short courses, business meetings, social events and the 10th Annual Awards Gala. Those who were able to attend know that it was a very successful conference – Conference Chair Mamadou Fall and the Local Organizing Committee did an excellent job making this a first-rate technical and social meeting. Milestones achieved this year include the oral presentation of just under 400 plenary and technical session papers and the involvement of a record 75 firms as exhibitors in the trade show. Our thanks go out to all sponsors, exhibitors and delegates who supported GeoOttawa 2017!
With the 2017 conference behind us, it’s time start thinking about GeoEdmonton 2018 taking place September 23-26, 2018 at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton, AB. The full conference website will be opening this month at www.geoedmonton2018.ca to submit an abstract or to sign up as a sponsor or exhibitor. Be sure to reserve that week in your September 2018 calendar for what is sure to be another successful CGS/IAH-CNC conference.
