GeoConvention 2018: Call for Abstracts
GeoConvention is a unique experience to learn about the latest technologies, workflows and advancements in Geosciences. Beyond the traditional technical sessions covering all things geology, geophysics and petrophysics, 2018 will take a holistic approach with our program and offer diverse content highlighting many areas of our energy industry.
All undergraduate/ graduate students and professors are welcome to be a part of the innovation, technologies and research in the industry. GeoConvention provides an avenue to grow your personal network and have your questions answered from geoscience professionals and academia. Registration is free for students who volunteer 8 hours and Student travel assistance is available to help with the cost of travel, hotels and food!
There is also a Student Travel Assistance Program which offers students an exciting opportunity to learn and to network with top industry professionals. This program is designed to assist students who wish to attend the convention and may not have the means to do so. There is an abundance of information on the website at www.geoconvention.com regarding this program, abstracts and much more.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: The 2018 Call for Abstracts is OPEN! A great opportunity to share your work with thousands who attend and get your name out there in the geoscience community. Check out www.geoconvention.com for more details. DEADLINE to submit your abstract is DECEMBER 8, 2017. Please see here for more information.
