Why Attend

The Ninth U.S. National and Tenth Canadian Conference on Earthquake Engineering will provide an opportunity for both researchers and practitioners to share the latest knowledge and techniques for understanding and mitigating the effects of earthquakes. This is the first time that a conference of this scale is being organized jointly by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute and the Canadian Association for Earthquake Engineering. The conference will provide a unique environment to develop synergy between U.S. and Canadian colleagues, as well as other participants from around the world. This conference will bring together professionals from a broad range of disciplines, including architecture, structural engineering, seismology, geology, geophysics, geotechnical engineering, social response, regional planning, emergency response planning, and regulation.

Workshop for Young Researchers, Professionals, and Faculty

A workshop for young researchers, professionals, and faculty will be held on Sunday, July 25, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The workshop is being organized by the Student Leadership Council (SLC) of EERI. The goal of this event is to encourage interaction among the three groups through a blend of events spread out during the day that include a technical session, a technical tour, and social events. The event is free to participants, thanks to the generous support of sponsors FEMA, Computers & Structures, Degenkolb Engineers, Digitexx, Kinemetrics, and PEER. However, due to space limitations, advanced registration is required. To register and for more information, please contact the SLC at eeri.slc@gmail.com.
