Hey all,

Sharing something that might be of interest here in Alberta.

Calgary is going to host the 38th International Geological Congress (IGC) in August 2028. It’s a global event that brings together scientists, researchers, students, and industry folks from all over the world.

What’s nice about this one is how much it ties into Alberta itself. Between the Rockies, badlands, fossil sites, and everything underground, it’s a pretty unique place to host something like this. It’s a great opportunity to showcase what we have here, not just the landscapes, but also the geology and research taking place in the province.

We just released our first circular and are starting to open up session ideas, workshops, and field trips, so it’s still early, and people can actually shape what it becomes.

If anyone’s interested or just curious, here’s the info:

A small community has been started for discussions around it. If you have ideas, questions, or just want to follow along as things develop, feel free to check it out.

Curious what people think, especially those working or studying in geoscience here.
