EXHIBITION PROSPECTUS
68th Canadian Geotechnical Conference and
7th Canadian Permafrost Conference
QUÉBEC CITY CONVENTION CENTRE, CANADA
SEPTEMBER 20-23, 2015
www.GeoQuebec2015.ca
The Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS), the Eastern Québec Section of the
Canadian Geotechnical Society and the Canadian National Committee for the International Permafrost Association invite you to GÉOQuébec 2015, the 68th Canadian
Geotechnical Conference and the 7th Canadian Permafrost Conference. Both of these
world-class conferences will be held in Québec City, a UNESCO world heritage treasure,
from September 20 to 23, 2015. This event attracts scientists, engineers, researchers,
code consultants and building officials, contractors and project managers as well as
suppliers from various fields of expertise and countries. Québec City has seen its
economic and industrial sector grow at a rapid pace over the last few years and has
become the hub of Northern Québec’s economic growth. The strong presence of the
public sector (transportation, environment, resources) in the city, as well as its active
private sector and proximity to the largest urban centers in Eastern Canada are few of
the key aspects that will ensure that the 68th Canadian Geotechnical Conference and
the 7th Canadian Permafrost Conference will be great success.
MAIN CONFERENCE THEME: CHALLENGES FROM NORTH TO SOUTH
“GEOQuébec 2015: Challenges from North to South” will highlight innovations in addressing complex geotechnical
and permafrost challenges from across Canada and abroad within the framework of the economic development of
society. The theme reflects both Canada’s geographical realm and Québec’s current efforts in shaping its “Plan Nord”
with the anticipated construction of transportation infrastructure that will help boost the economy above the 56th
parallel and especially Northern communities.
