On behalf of the GeoConvention Partnership, the partner societies CSPG, CSEG and CWLS, and the Organizing Committee, we thank you for joining us.
Paige Mamer CSEG General Chair
Victoria Biersteker CSPG General Chair
Welcome to GeoConvention 2021 After a tumultuous year, we are excited to welcome you to GeoConvention 2021. The past year has been challenging for everyone, but particularly so for geoscientists, who have endured layoffs, mergers, acquisitions, and limited field activity.
It has also been a time of ingenuity and innovation. The global pandemic has accelerated looming cultural and environmental revolutions in which our geoscience community plays a critical role in shaping a new energy landscape. Lithium extraction to support increasing battery use, geothermal project development in remote communities, and carbon capture and sequestration to reduce emissions are just a few examples of how sustainability is shaping the 2020s.
GeoConvention 2021’s expanded program aims to support the geoscience community in all these endeavours, including petroleum extraction, energy diversification, emerging resources, and cultural and career leadership. With over 400 technical talks in 63 sessions, over 50 digital posters, and more than 50 exhibitors, the 2021 GeoConvention promises to be an exciting year.
Conference attendees can share insights with leading industry professionals and have a place to interact and network with our geoscience community. Hosting the convention virtually has afforded new opportunities for collaboration, extending GeoConvention’s reach with more international speakers and delegates, making this a truly extraordinary experience.
Finally, GeoConvention 2021 would not be possible without the generous support from its sponsors and volunteers who dedicate their time to making this event a success year after year. We thank you for your continued support of the CSPG, CSEG, and CWLS and welcome you to GeoConvention 2021!
