The PEGG

February 2001

The 2001 APEGGA Annual General Conference is a forum for establishing, maintaining and improving contacts and cooperation between engineers and geoscientists from across Alberta. The conference, April 25-27, is a prime opportunity for members to network, share insights and learn more about the professions and their professional association.

This year's theme, Beyond the Frontier, reflects the exciting, challenging and changing environments confronting engineering and geoscience professionals as they boldly prepare for the future. Calgary's Telus Convention Centre and Fairmont Palliser will be the primary sites of the conference, which includes two days of professional development sessions, the Summit Awards Gala, the Annual General Meeting and Luncheon, and a guest program.
Keeping up with technology and innovation is a challenge for every professional. The Professional Development Program offers a wide range of cutting-edge seminars, from economics to team building.

Summit Winners Honoured

The Summit Awards Gala is the social event of the year, bringing together leaders in the professions, business, government and education to celebrate and acknowledge the significant accomplishments of Alberta's geoscientists and engineers.

The Annual General Meeting, the pivotal event of the conference, provides members with the opportunity to become involved in the business of the association, vote on matters brought before the meeting, hear issues of importance relating to APEGGA and the professions and present motions for consideration by Council. The AGM luncheon follows, featuring a guest speaker.
