Join us for the 2025 Christchurch Young Geotechnical Professional’s Symposium. The event provides a great networking opportunity and a supportive environment to learn from each others’ experiences. This event is a one-day event where the young people of the local geotechnical industry gather to share and learn from each other. Hopefully you will not only learn but leave more enthused and motivated for your career. It is a shortened, local, less formal version of the highly successful ANZ YGP conference.

To register you need to provide a 100 to 200 word summary of a geotechnical topic which you can commit to making a 10-minute presentation on at the event. There will be a short question time after each presentation. There will be two friendly senior mentors present on the day to provide advice and feedback. No written paper is required.

This year, the winners of each of the regional mini symposia (as judged by the mentors) will be awarded $1,500 toward professional development opportunities. Where the winners are co-presenters, the award will be split at $750 each.

Registrations including presentation summary (abstract) are due by end of day Friday 27th October 2025.
