DFI 41stAnnual Conference on Deep Foundations

2016 DFI Conference | Underwriting Opportunities | New York City

DFI’s Annual Conference attracts industry professionals from around the globe to gather and share experiences, exchange ideas and learn the current state of the practice from various disciplines. Over 1,000 engineers, contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, owners, government agencies and academicians are expected to meet in New York City to attend informative technical sessions, learn more about the latest innovations in deep foundations technology in the Exhibit Hall and much more.

This year, DFI is combining its annual conference with a seepage control and remediation symposium whereby there will be two technical tracks throughout the three-day conference, one covering deep foundations and excavations and the other discussing seepage control and remediation for dam and levee projects. The dual tracks and attractive New York City location are expected to draw in a large international audience, hence the title of this year’s conference – International Conference on Deep Foundations, Seepage Control and Remediation.

The conference will also include meetings of DFI’s 18 Technical Committees and 3 Working Groups, technical sessions, networking receptions, luncheons, over 120 exhibitor displays, and the annual DFI Awards Reception and Banquet.
