Innovation - Spring 2024

REGULATORY NEWS

Engineers and Geoscientists BC is seeking presenters—industry experts, thought-leaders, innovators, technology experts, and professional speakers—for its Continuing Education (CE) program for the 2024 Annual Conference. Engineers and Geoscientists BC Annual Conference is the premier event for engineers, geoscientists, technologies, academia, government representatives, industry leaders and other members of the community across BC and beyond. Presenters can also network and engage with potential future clients and expand their business portfolio. The 2024 conference will be held on October 16-18, 2024, in a hybrid format—virtually and in person—at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Submit your proposal before the March 15, 2024, deadline for the opportunity to share your research, experiences, and best practices with the professional community. The CE sessions at this year’s conference will focus on four core learning areas: technical, ethical, regulatory, and communications and leadership. These topics are in alignment with CE Program requirements. Presentations are one hour, including time for questions and answers. Presentations should be educational and tailored to registrants. Presentations that promote or sell specific products, services, or providers will not be considered. Proposal requirements are available on Engineers and Geoscientists BC’s website: Seeking presenters for 2024 Annual Conference
