The 13th International Conference on Geosynthetics (13ICG) will be held from September 13th to 17th, 2026, in Montreal, Canada. Under the theme “Geosynthetics: Legacy, Evolution, and Innovation”, and hosted by the International Geosynthetics Society North American Chapter (IGS-NA), the conference will bring together over 1,000 leading civil engineers, researchers, industry experts, material manufacturers, and specialists in sustainability and climate change. Attendees will engage in several days of technical exchanges, sharing of engineering practices, and discussions on business cooperation, focusing on the application of geosynthetics in areas such as sustainable development, transportation infrastructure, climate change adaptation, mining, energy, and environmental protection.
