PIANC USA and the Coasts, Oceans, Ports & Rivers Institute (COPRI /ASCE) announced that the Dredging 2015 Conference will take place in Savannah, Georgia, October 19-22, 2015, at the Hyatt Regency on the riverfront in the Downtown Historic District.

Organizers expect more than 600 dredging experts from around the world to gather at this fifth technical specialty conference. The format will be very similar to the 2012 Conference in San Diego, with plenary sessions, concurrent technical sessions, short courses, tours, and a large industry exhibit hall.

“More than 200 of the top dredging experts in the world will be presenting technical talks at the conference on more than a dozen major topics ranging from dredged materials management to regulatory challenges to working with nature,” said Conference Chair Stephen Garbaciak Jr., PE, ANCHOR QEA, LLC.
