Geotechnical Frontiers 2017 brings together the biennial Geosynthetics show, organized by the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI), and the annual Geo-Congress, organized by the Geo-Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (G-I/ASCE), every six years, making it the largest, most comprehensive gathering of its kind.
This conference and trade show originated as “Geo-Frontiers” and was first held in Austin, Texas, in 2005, and then six years later (2011) in Dallas.

The trade show
As usual, the exhibit hall for this event will be filled with companies featuring every facet of the geotechnical industry—manufacturers and service providers showcasing geosynthetic and geotechnical products, applications, services, technologies, and innovations.
The show floor is expected to sell out again as it has in every edition of Geotechnical Frontiers (previously Geo-Frontiers). Exhibitors are encouraged to select space now to avoid the wait list.
