G-I at ASCE2027
Geo-Institute
Join us at ASCE2027 as the Geo-Institute of ASCE brings its annual Geo-Congress experience to Philadelphia. Geo-Congress has long been the leading conference for geotechnical engineers, bringing together researchers and practicing professionals to advance both research and real world practice. At ASCE2027, this expertise becomes part of a broader conversation on infrastructure challenges.
Geotechnical engineering plays a key role in how infrastructure performs over time. Every project begins with the ground, and Geo-Institute programming reflects both core practice and evolving approaches that support safety, reliability, and long term performance.
Through this integrated format, the Geo-Institute brings essential insight into subsurface conditions, risk, and performance, contributing to more informed and effective infrastructure solutions.
