                                           Organizational Partners: Mauro Scanga (ADSC
                                           President), Michael H. Wysockey (DFI President),

                                           The future in the geotechnical world looks
                                           different from different perspectives. For the
                                           first time in IFCEE history, the formal conference
                                           program will kick off with a panel interview
                                           featuring the presidents of the four member
                                           organizations. Some questions will be probing,
                                           some will be illuminating, and some will even
                                           be funny. The results will set the tone for the
                                           informative sessions to follow.
