The 7th International Conference on Environmental Geotechnics (7 ICEG) will be held 10-14 November 2014 in Melbourne, Australia. This event will be one of 2014’s highlights and will offer an exceptional opportunity for dialogue between the larger geotechnical engineering community and key geotechnical disciplines, such as geosynthetics.
This week, the conference confirmed its keynote speaker lineup, released the exhibitor and sponsorship prospectus, and offered a reminder on the late November deadline on abstracts.
The keynote speaker lineup is strong. It brings together some of the world’s luminaries in the geotechnics field:
