Annual Conference

BRIDGE THOSE BORDERS, FOLKS

APEGGA wants you to take part in Bridging Borders, the Association’s Annual Conference and Annual General Meeting. Whether you want to build your career, meet with your peers, celebrate the best of engineering and geoscience, take part in the democratic process of self government or just have some fun, the conference has it all.

Click here for full event and registration information.

CELEBRATE YOUR PROFESSIONS

The 14th annual National Engineering & Geoscience Week kicks off Feb. 24, under the theme Celebrating Innovation. This is your chance to show Alberta the role engineering, geology and geophysics play in our economy and standard of living.

HELP NAIT, WIN GPS UNIT

If you want to catch up with the times in the world of geographical information and global positioning systems, NAIT will soon have the courses you’re looking for. The technology institute needs you, however, to help shape its GIS and GPS offerings, which are now in the advanced planning stages.
 
And there’s more. In an effort to support the educational needs of GIS practitioners in Alberta, NAIT has published its inaugural edition of the NAIT GIS Update newsletter.

By filling out the survey and subscribing to NAIT’s online GIS newsletter, your name will be entered into a draw for a new portable GPS unit.
