What is the goal of the annual Conference?

The goal of our annual conference is to bring together the Arizona geotechnical community to bolster existing relationships and forge new ones. Our community of geotechnical professionals engage with subcontractors at their booths during and actively participate in technical keynotes throughout the day.

As always, a portion of all sponsorship funds go towards awarding our annual scholarships (2) to the geotechnical-focused students at Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University, and the University of Arizona. 

Who attends the annual Conference?

·      Local Engineering Professionals from various companies (both government, private and academia) from across Arizona and the surrounding states.

·      Local graduate level engineering students who have a focus in Geotechnical and Geological Engineering.

Preliminary Schedule Pending
