SEG ANNUAL MEETING UPDATE: 90TH ANNUAL SEG 2020 ONLINE: 11-16 OCTOBER, 2020 Hi everyone, The SEG 2020 annual meeting is now almost a month away. As many/most of you already know, after months of concerns over the SEG Annual Meeting in Houston due to the global pandemic, on July 30th it was announced that this year's meeting would be 100% virtual. Since then SEG organizers and volunteers have been working tirelessly and feverously to make this event a success. In spite of many parts of our bi-annual Mining Summit being unfortunately curtailed by the cancellation of live events, including our NASA-JSC Field trip, MG luncheon and Student Event all being cancelled, we still have our two Mining sessions, our two Post-conference Workshops, our NASA Keynote Talk and our MG Annual Meeting – all of which I encourage all SEGMIN members to attend, along with the Gravity & Magnetics events, as well. And we thank all the MG & GM speakers and organizers for their efforts. This is truly an excellent opportunity for SEG members to take advantage of and participate. Register online at: https://seg.org/AM/2020 Unlike previous years where participation in the Annual Meeting, Exhibition, Technical Program, Luncheons and Pre- & Post-Convention workshops were priced separately, this year it’s one price for all (see below). The one fee allows attendees to participate in all aspects of the virtual conference : [cid:[email protected]] Here is the list of all the Mining related activities at this years’ SEG 2020. ---- TECHNICAL SESSIONS: Oral Session MG 1: New Methods and Developments Wed AM - Oct 14 8:30-11:50 AM 20min Long Pre-recorded presentations with 5 min Live Q&A with speakers.
