In November this year, the New Zealand Geothermal Workshop and the Geoscience Society of New Zealand are holding a joint conference in Auckland showcasing the latest and best in New Zealand geoscience research, geothermal science, and geothermal engineering. The meeting will include an overlap day with the annual meeting of the New Zealand branch of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, AusIMM.
The theme for the meeting is "Research · Economy · Frontiers" and we particularly encourage abstract submissions that explore the interplay of pure and applied research and showcase the application of fundamental research in the commercial marketplace.
The meeting will be held in the award winning Owen G. Glenn Building of the University of Auckland Business School. The conference begins with an icebreaker on the evening of Sunday 21st November and concludes on the evening of Wednesday 24th November 2010 with a joint GeoNZ–AusIMM reception. The conference dinner is included in the registration fee for most registrants; others can opt to attend upon ticket purchase. This event of fine dining and conversation will be held in the Auckland Room at SkyCity, Auckland on Tuesday 23rd November. An optional social event at Kelly Tarlton's Underwater World is offered for Monday evening. Annual General Meetings of both the Geoscience Society of New Zealand and the New Zealand Geothermal Association will be scheduled separately during the first two days of the conference. Participants are encouraged also to attend pre- and post-conference fieldtrips.
Onsite conference registration will open at 4.30 pm on Sunday 21st November with the icebreaker commencing at 5.30 pm in the main L1 foyer of the Owen G. Glenn Building. Registration opens again at 7:30 am on the morning of Monday 22nd November in the Owen G. Glenn building L1 foyer, with a formal welcome and opening ceremony beginning at 8:30 am. An information desk will be staffed during coffee and lunch breaks throughout the conference.
