Upcoming Conferences and
Seminars
72nd Canadian Geotechnical
Conference
September 29 to October 2,
2019, St. John’s, Newfoundland
and Labrador, Canada
The
Geotechnical Society of St.
John’s
and the
Canadian Geo-
technical Society
(CGS) invite you
to
GeoSt.John’s 2019
, the 72nd
Canadian Geotechnical Conference.
The conference will be held at the
St. John’s Convention Centre in St.
John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador,
Canada from
Sunday, September
29 to Wednesday, October 2, 2019
.
With a population of over 200,000,
the metropolitan St. John’s area is the
economic and cultural centre of the
province and offers a natural environ-
ment, clean air, safe streets and all
the amenities of a larger city with a
European flavour. Our rich history and
culture and “small town” quality of
life make St. John’s a pleasure to visit.
For over 500 years St. John’s has been
visited by explorers and adventurers.
Rich with history, rife with culture,
and sprawling with natural beauty, St.
John’s is a city of exaggerated propor-
tions. All these wonders have been
here for thousands of years, embraced
by those who happened upon them.
And while finding the true spirit of this
land, you’ll stumble upon everything
from wildlife, to people, to amazing
vistas, to an abundance of culture. In
fact, being the most easterly point in
North America merits our very own
time zone, half-an-hour off-kilter with
the rest of the world! Around every
corner, around every bend, you will
find a little piece of heaven, an unex-
pected delight, and a playful breeze
that will help your journey.
The theme for
GeoSt.John’s 2019
is
Under Land and Sea
. Growth of
the offshore oil and gas industry in
Atlantic Canada has created many
opportunities for the geotechnical
community. This conference intends
to highlight recent achievements in
offshore and nearshore geotechnical
engineering. The technical program
will also cover a wide range of geo-
technical and hydrogeological topics,
including specialty sessions that are
of local and national relevance. In
addition to the technical program and
plenary sessions,
GeoSt.John’s 2019
will include a complement of distin-
guished keynote speakers, high calibre
short courses, social events, and
technical tours. The official languages
for the conference will be English and
French.
