With just a little over a week to register at reduced Pre-registration rates, don't miss out on attending - and saving. Register now for the 32nd Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems (SAGEEP 2019)!
The Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS) and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), are partnering to bring the near surface community 3 conferences for the price of one.
 This year, SAGEEP has expanded, offering two sister conferences focusing on Geohazards and Shallow Marine / Coastal Geophysics, bringing a new level of depth to this iconic symposium.
Once registered, make your hotel reservations at the host hotel, Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront Hotel, where EEGS has negotiated a special SAGEEP rate (deadline is Feb. 21, 2019).
Booking your stay at the conference hotel not only saves you money, but also helps EEGS:
- control the costs of organizing SAGEEP;
- offer registrants the lowest registration rates possible;
- and avoid possible penalties for falling short of our guarantee.
