We recently traveled to Salt Lake City, UT for the Geosynthetics 2009 conference. This show is the largest geosynthetics industry event in North America. In addition to the trade show floor with multiple exhibitors, there were 35 technical and educational programs scheduled throughout the duration. The issues addressed were those that included affecting water resources, mining, construction, and regulatory communities in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
The theme of the conference was Hydraulic and Environmental Enginneering and the areas of focus were shoreline and water protection, conveyance and storage, mining, agriculture, aquaculture, temporary roads, and drainage.
The attendees included geotechnical engineers, environmental engineers, civil engineers, project designers, specifiers, government regulators, landscape architects, contractors, fabricators, installers, manufacturers, distributors, researchers, professors, and facility owners.
This was our first major trade show and after this experience, will definitely not be our last. Stay tuned to see what other adventrues we will embark upon.
