The 77th Canadian Geotechnical Conference and 16th Joint CGS/IAH-CNC Groundwater Conference was held September 15-18, 2024 in Montreal QC. The Local Organizing Committee, with Francois Duhaime and Daniel Verret leading as Co-Chairs, presented a successful conference with 1,000+ delegates over the hree days. Thank you to all who attended and participated!
CGS conferences would not be possible without the generous support of sponsors and exhibitors, and this year’s edition was no different – thank you to all for your contributions.
The Winter 2024 issue of Canadian Geotechnique – The CGS Magazine will include a wrap-up of conference events and happenings in the CGS News section, but we’ve included some of the conference highlights here. The RM Hardy Keynote Address was presented by Pierre Vannobels; the 2024 CGS Colloquium was given by Ryley Beddoe; and the Graduate Student Presentation was presented by Sepehr Chalajour. Multiple networking events were organized, including the Women’s Networking Breakfast (an even that has quickly become tradition at CGS conferences) and the Mentoring Session.
The next CGS annual conference – GeoManitoba 2025 – will be held September 21-24, 2025, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The conference website (http://www.geomanitoba2025.ca) will be launched soon – be on the lookout for more information and the Call for Abstracts!
