Geosyntec Practitioners to Present at Geotechnical Frontiers

Geosyntec practitioners will make significant contributions at the Geotechnical Frontiers conference on March 2 through 5, 2025, in Louisville, Kentucky.

Our practitioners will chair two sessions and conduct five presentations. In addition, Geosyntec’s Santiago Caballero will receive the 2024 J. James R. Croes Medal on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. ET and Rudy Bonaparte will be honored during a session on Tuesday, March 4, at 1:30 p.m.

Geosyntec is a gold sponsor of the event.

Geotechnical Frontiers occurs every six years and is the merging of the Geosynthetics Conference and the annual Geo-Congress. The four-day event features more than 200 exhibits, short courses, panel discussions, plenary sessions, round-table discussions, technical paper lectures, and poster presentations.

The conference is organized by the Advanced Textile Association’s Geosynthetic Materials Association and the American Society of Civil Engineer’s Geo-Institute.
