New Professional Development Opportunity
People in other parts of the world communicate, think and act differently and it is pertinent for technical professionals to adapt their communication, work, and leadership style to match the expectations of their local counterparts to succeed. This one-day workshop explores the causes of problems that technical professionals face and provides effective solutions that can be applied no matter where this assignment takes place and how long it is expected to last.
We understand that each culture has different expectations; some of these are spoken and some of them are not. You need the tools to succeed in these different situations whether you work for someone from a different culture, your entire company is based in another country, or you are planning on working in another country. A series of courses is being developed that will help you be successful in cross-cultural professional situations.
The first course in this series is being launched by APEGGA. CSPG and APEGGA are pleased to cooperate in offering this educational opportunity.

Invitation to Participate in the 34th International Geological Congress (IGC)
Brisbane, Australia
August 2-10, 2012
The scientific program of AUSTRALIA 2012 will emphasize applications of the geosciences in addressing the Earth's major challenges: climate change, land and water management, mineral and energy supplies in a carbon-constrained world, mitigation of geohazards, and geoscience information and standards. We will also have strong sessions on biogeochemical evolution of the Earth, planetary geology, polar studies, coral reefs and many other topics.
There will be about 30-35 field trips to all States and Territories of Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere in the region, as well as a major exhibition. In addition, expert workshops are being planned on a number of important topics of interest to the developing nations, and more generally. These will include: carbon capture and storage, sustainable mining (exploration, environmental impact assessment, regulation and governance), mitigation of geohazards, and land and water management.
To secure slots in the IGC program, all interested groups are invited to register their interest as soon as they can on the IGC website at www.34igc.org, through the "Register your interest" tab.
There are no events at this time.
