GeoGulf 2020 Registration
PHYSICAL OR VIRTUAL REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
ADDED VALUE FOR PHYSICAL ATTENDEES: All GeoGulf 2020 in-person attendees will receive complimentary registration for AAPG ACE 2020 Online. Important Note: Because AAPG ACE starts before our event, we will release AAPG login credentials so that GeoGulf pre-registrants can fully participate in AAPG ACE under the condition that failure to attend GeoGulf will result in additional charge for the difference between your GeoGulf registration and the AAPG ACE registration cost.
VIRTUAL GEOGULF 2020 OPTION: We are principally running our convention as a physical, in-person event. However, we have received a lot of interest regarding providing a virtual option for those unable to attend due to personal risk assessment or institutional restrictions. We are therefore pleased to offer a reduced-fee virtual registration, entitling virtual (and physical) registrants
to watch our live technical session feeds from the comfort of your home or office and recordings on our website at your convenience in on-demand format through Dec. 31, 2020. Note that Virtual Registration does NOT qualify for the matching AAPG registration, which is reserved solely for physical attendees. Note also that a few slots are available for our hybrid technical program (all live, mostly physical with a few select live virtual) and we are expanding our pre-recorded on-demand program (can range from 20 min to 1 hour)--if interested, please contact James Willis as soon as possible at james.willis@geogulf.org or jwillis3@lsu.edu.
