GeoConvention

GeoConvention began in 2013 with the signing of an agreement that committed the CWLS, the CSEG, and the CSPG to a limited partnership that was designed to provide a showcase technical conference dedicated to the petroleum geoscience of Canada and parts of the United States. The agreement took a dedicated committee of 7 volunteers from the three societies (3 from CSPG, 3 from CSEG and 1 from CWLS) and input from the executives of all three societies almost a year and half to negotiate. These could be raucous affairs and were generally well attended by the relatively small membership. In the 1970’s and 80’s the CSPG Convention grew exponentially, however it was not the only party in town as the CSEG was also established and growing quickly. At this time there were clear distinctions between Geologists and Geophysicists.
