Banff Geotechnical Modeling Workshop

Nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains is a charming little mountain village named Banff. Just a 90 minute scenic drive or commuter shuttle from Calgary International Airport, Banff is a perfect setting to learn, enhance and fine-tune your numerical modeling skills under the personal guidance of GEO-SLOPE personnel. The annual workshop has become a very popular event and has sold out well in advance of the workshop dates for the past four years.
