In short: a compact platform offering insights into latest trends and innovations in the industry.”
Dr. Marwan AlzaylaieSenior Manager- Geotechnical, Dubai Development Authority, U.A.E.
“IGIC 2024, held in Jeddah, was a groundbreaking event that showcased an unprecedented fusion of East and West, academia and industry, as well as a dynamic interplay among geotechnical contractors, laboratories, consultants, and solution providers. Bridging generations, it connected students with professors, and peers with mentors, reflecting its inclusive and collaborative spirit. The conference covered a vast array of topics, from pioneering case studies such as the Jeddah Tower, India's longest offshore bridge, to Bahrain’s world's largest micropiled PT rafts. It also highlighted cutting-edge technologies like AI, ML, remote sensing, digital twinning, energy piles, and innovative ground improvement methods. Enhanced by invaluable workshops on the most utilized software and tools in geotechnical design.
IGIC 2024 proved to be a hub for suppliers, clients, and collaborators. With attendance surpassing 500, and expectations for growth in future editions, IGIC firmly stands as the premier international geotechnical event, keeping the Gulf and MENA region's geotechnical community thoroughly interconnected and advancing.”
