Geosynthetics | June July 2019

The conference kicks off with a welcome reception on the show floor. Join
us on Sunday, March 8, 2020, to mingle with colleagues while perusing
the latest innovations and product offerings on display.
While you are on the show floor, be sure to stop by the Geosynthetics
Learning Zone to review the education boards detailing the many different uses for geosynthetic materials across a variety of applications.

Half-day short courses included
Come in early on Sunday to dive into a four-hour short course at no
extra cost. All full and one-day registrants are invited to take advantage
of this special opportunity. Short course selections will be announced

Explore Charleston
The Charleston Area Convention Center is conveniently located five minutes from Charleston International Airport. For attendees with limited time,
this destination is ideal.
For attendees who have time to spend exploring the area, options
abound. Downtown Charleston is just a quick complimentary shuttle ride
away. From colonial-era houses, Revolutionary and Civil War monuments,
and even a submarine from 1864, history is everywhere. If history isn't your
thing, there are also numerous parks and gardens, carriage rides and the
chance to spend some time in the sun on the seashore. It's a great location
to bring the family and stay a few extra days. G
