The 2nd NZGS Auckland & Northland YGP Symposium is happening on November 8th 2019 in Auckland.

What is it?

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.

Who is it for?

This is a one day event for young geo-professionals who are under 35 years old and based in Auckland & Northland.

What is required of me?

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. The topic should be something that your peers can learn from.

No written paper is required. 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.

How to apply?

To apply, please email a short description of your presentation to auckygp@gmail.com by Wednesday October 2nd.
