Sageep 2015
Local organizers Jeff Paine (General Chair), Doug Laymon, and Dennis Mills have worked with EEGS staff to infuse a uniquely “Austin” experience into the 28th edition of the next Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems (SAGEEP) in Austin, Texas March 22-26, 2015 while simultaneously putting together a strong technical program under the guidance of Brad Carr (Technical Chair). Be sure to review the Schedule at a Glance and register online or by submitting a printed form now!
Be sure to make early plans to attend; Austin is a very popular spring destination and flights and rooms fill up quickly. South by Southwest SXSW is a set of film, interactive, and music festivals and conferences which began in 1987 and takes place in Austin every year. This year, it is scheduled for the week prior to SAGEEP (March 13-22, 2015) - so the city and airport will be busy! The SAGEEP hotel room block will include 3 days prior to SAGEEP, so plan to come early and attend this iconic Austin spring event!
We look forward to seeing you in Austin soon!
