Geosynthetics Conference is a biennial event. Geotechnical practitioners, designers, regulators, contractors, and installers come together at this highly respected trade show event to learn the latest research, materials, applications and case studies. The technical program typically includes more than 110 technical paper presentations across 35 technical sessions. Geosynthetics 2023 was located at the Kansas City Convention Center, 301 W 13th St., Kansas City, MO.
Every 6 years Geosynthetics Conference and Geo-Institutes annual Geo-Congress combine to create Geotechnical Frontiers. The next edition of this event will be held Mar. 2-5, 2025. For more details visit GeotechnicalFrontiers.com
Geosynthetics Conference is hosted by the Geosynthetic Materials Association (GMA), a division of Advanced Textiles Association (ATA).
GEOSYNTHETIC MATERIALS ASSOCIATION
GMA provides engineering support, business development opportunities, in-person and online educational programming, government relations expertise and industry recognitions. GMA influences specifications and lobbies on behalf of member companies. GMA targets key U.S. states to expand the geosynthetics market.
