YPC
DELEGATE INFORMATION

The YP Conference will feature engaging presentations and poster sessions, providing participants with a dynamic platform to share and discuss their work.

 

All participants are expected to provide a short "PechaKucha" Style presentation on a research topic or project, to generate interest for the poster sessions to follow. Non-technical topics related to the fields of geotechnical engineering or geosciences will also be accepted and are encouraged. The presentation length will be determined following registration but will be between 3 to 5 minutes with auto-advancing slides every 30 seconds. A presentation template will be provided following registration.​

​

After the presentations, the poster sessions provide a more interactive platform for delegates to showcase their projects and research in greater detail. These sessions allow for networking, exchanging ideas, and engaging in discussions with peers.​​
