The Technical Program Committee of the 9th U.S. National and 10th Canadian Conference on Earthquake Engineering (9USN/10CCEE) is pleased to announce that nearly 1,400 abstracts have been submitted to the online submission web site. Authors will be notified of acceptance by July 15. The committee, co-chaired by professors Shamim Sheikh of the University of Toronto and Catherine French of the University of Minnesota, estimate that 800 final papers will be submitted with 1,500 attendees from all over the world. They are planning for approximately 100 technical sessions, including several panel discussions, augmented by two plenary sessions and six special sessions with invited speakers, as well as poster sessions.

With the theme of “Reaching Beyond Borders,” the 9USN/10CCEE is scheduled for July 25-29, 2010, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Technical tours are planned for the CN Tower and the SkyDome on Monday and Tuesday, 5:30-7 p.m., immediately after sessions end. An all-day field trip on Friday will tour Niagara Power Plant and Niagara Falls in the morning, followed by lunch at Queens Landing and a visit to Niagara-on-the-Lake in the afternoon.

So far, 24 organizations are co-sponsoring the conference, and more are expected to sign on. Members of co-sponsoring organizations will receive the EERI-CAEE member rate for the conference registration fee.
