The IFAI’s (Industrial Fabrics Association International) Geosynthetics 2013 conference and trade show will combine with two other industry bodies, the Southwest Geotechnical Engineers Conference (SWGEC) and the Geosynthetics Institute's GRI-25 Conference.

According to the IFAI, the event will co-locate at the Long Beach Convention Center, Long Beach, California, US, from April 1-4, 2013, providing attendees with details on all the major new developments in geosynthetics engineering and technologies.

The theme for the show will be ‘Geosynthetics for Water & Energy Challenges’, and will include four days of technical programming, short course, panel discussion and lectures.

Sam Allen, conference chair and vice president of TRI Environmental, said: "This industry event is unique in its ability to gather the manufacturing, engineering, installation and academic communities for in-depth technical discussion, professional advancement and maximum business growth.

“These key opportunities increase exponentially with direct involvement and contribution. An excellent investment and return is realized."

Geosynthetics 2013 is supported by the North American Geosynthetics Society (NAGS), the Geosynthetics Institute (GSI) and Geosynthetic Materials Association (GMA), under the auspices of the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS) and is organised by the Industrial Fabrics Association International.
