A springtime checklist

March 19, 2010 | By Ron Bygness

As the GeoBlog prepares for a vacation week of sunshine and golf in San Diego,
the to-do list for work and play grows.

Here is a checklist for you:

Do you have your Passport and Visa ready for 9ICG in Brazil? U.S. citizens must have a current Visa to enter Brazil. Here is a helpful site:
www.passportsandvisas.com

Has the February/March issue of Geosynthetics circulated through your office? Keep it moving because April/May will land on your desk in just a few days, and it is loaded with great info: Backfilling open-pit mines, Geotextile tubes in Tabasco, Nanoparticle composites, New geonet structure, and lots more.
www.geosyntheticsmagazine.com

Speaking of the magazine, do you have enough copies for everyone in the office? A special 2-years-for-the-price of-1 is now available at:
secure.ifai.com/geo/subscribe

Have you reserved your exhibit space for Geo-Frontiers 2011 in Dallas? Don’t hesitate. This conference and trade show is going to be hot—the top geotechnical engineering event of the year! Make your plans now.

OK, subscription to Geosynthetics, check; reserved a booth for Geo-Frontiers, check. What am I forgetting? Oh no, this is what I forgot last year! Free listings in the Geosynthetics Specifier’s Guide. There are two, and only two, ways to receive free directories listings and free product-data chart lines in the annual Spec.Guide:
      Membership in the Geosynthetic Materials Association (GMA)
       www.gmanow.com
      Advertise in Geosynthetics magazine

So now you have your to-do list. Get on it!
