15th Young Geotechnical Professionals Conference
The organising committee are delighted to welcome you to the 15th Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) Young Geotechnical Professionals Conference (15YGPC) which is being held at the Stamford Grand, Adelaide from 6th to 9th November 2024. Held every 2 years, this YGPC event is a unique 3-day conference facilitated by a joint initiative of Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS) and New Zealand Geotechnical Society (NZGS) and led by a volunteer committee of fellow young geo-professionals.
The aim of the 15YGPC is to provide younger professionals, both in industry and academia, experience in technical paper preparation and conference presentation. We hope that delegates not only gain technical knowledge, but confidence in presenting, form new connections and enjoy the process. Presenting at this conference is the culmination of many months of paper preparation and peer review by senior professionals in the industry. Conference attendance is limited to only presenting authors with what is likely to be their first technical paper to their peers and supported by a panel of senior industry professionals. The YGPC is historically a popular event, and this year is no exception, with 80 high quality abstract nominations received. We would like to congratulate the invited delegates on their acceptance, and we look forward to their participation in the conference.
