CGS YP Conference 2022

September 29 to October 1, 2022 in Banff, Alberta

The CGS Young Professionals (CGS YP) Conference is coming to Banff, Alberta in September 2022! Formerly known as the Canadian Young Geotechnical Engineers and Geoscientists Conference (cYGEGC), the CGS YP Conference is the 7th iteration of a triennial conference organized by and targeted at young professionals (and students) under the age of 35 in the field of Geotechnique.

The CGS YP Conference 2022 will be held at the Banff Centre for Creativity from September 29 to October 1, 2022. The theme will be “Risky Business” and delegates will be encouraged to explore the risks that are inherent within the field of Geotechnique and how they are managed.

The structure of this conference is expected to be very similar to the previous iteration in 2019 which included a day of technical tours within the conference region, followed by two days of delegate presentations and keynote addresses by distinguished speakers.

Delegates will have opportunities to:

  • Network with their fellow young professionals during social events and during a closing banquet at the end of the conference;
  • Practice networking and presentation skills in a relaxed and supportive environment;
  • Learn from the experiences of peers and senior professionals;
  • Make connections that will last throughout your professional career and beyond.

If you are interested in learning more about the CGS YP Conference 2022, please visit our website at ypcgs2022.ca and sign up to receive updates on conference news and information as they are released. You can also follow us on LinkedIn (@ypcgs2022) to receive updates through our social media feed.
