General Information
____________________________
APEGGA’s
Annual Conference takes place in Edmonton April
22-24. The conference affords participants the opportunity
to contribute to their professional association and
participate in career building, networking and social
events.
Making
the Circle Stronger reflects APEGGA’s
ongoing changes and initiatives in the area of inclusivity – the
concept that there is a place inside the circle for
all who practice engineering, geology and geophysics.
Making the Circle Stronger also symbolizes the strength
of the iron ring and earth ring and the important connections
that exist within and between the professions. It is
also evocative of the shape of the earth, the strength
of cyclical hydrocarbons, each professional’s
circle of influence in the community and of a meeting
place where strength and opportunity are found.
