Paper presentations highlight the biennial conference’s technical programs
“Geosynthetics: Advances and Innovation” is the theme of Geosynthetics 2015. The conference will feature four days of technical programming, including short courses, panel discussions, and paper presentations.
For the first time ever, this biennial geosynthetics conference, organized by the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI), will be co-locating with International Erosion Control Association‘s Environmental Connection 2015 conference. The concurrent conferences will feature a shared exhibit floor while conducting separate technical programs.
