invitation
Dear Prospective Sponsors and Exhibitors,
The Organizing Committee of the 11th International Conference on Geosynthetics (11ICG), to be held in Seoul, Korea from
September 16 to 21, 2018, cordially invites you to become a sponsor and/or exhibitor in the event. The ICG series, considered as
the "Olympics of Geosynthetics Experts," has become the world's premier event presenting the most recent developments and
innovations in geosynthetics engineering. The Korean Geosynthetics Society (KGSS), the IGS Korea Chapter, is delighted to host the
11ICG in Korea and will go to great lengths to ensure that the conference surpasses all expectations.
Under the theme of “Geosynthetics: Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Development," the comprehensive scientific and cutting-
edge technical programs we have planned will provide exceptional opportunities for sponsorship and exhibition for you to build
your brand and grow your business in the rapidly expanding geosynthetics market and beyond. In addition to more than 1,000
industrial, academic, and research experts attending from over 50 countries around the world, you, as a sponsor and/or exhibitor,
will gain direct access to international and local companies and professionals that are increasingly looking abroad for new and
innovative geosynthetics products and solutions.
As you will find in this prospectus, a variety of sponsorship packages have been prepared to provide your company with optimum
flexibility to fine-tune your target audience at price points maximizing the cost-effectiveness of your advertising budget. We are
confident that your participation in the 11ICG will be a profitable investment for your business.
As one of the most dynamic countries in the world, Korea’s culture and infrastructure will also offer an attractive setting to inspire a
highly successful 11ICG. Moreover exciting Seoul, with its fascinating contrast of ancient architecture and ultramodern lifestyle, will
be the perfect host city for this milestone in ICG history.
We look forward to welcoming you in Seoul, Korea!

Korean Geosynthetics Society (KGSS)
Since its founding in 2001, the Korean Geosynthetics Society, the IGS Korea Chapter, has been devoted to the research and
technology development of the manufacture, design, and construction of functional synthetic materials related to geotechnical
engineering and construction. The KGSS has been at the forefront of expanding geosynthetics technology applications in the
fields of geotechnical engineering to fusion technology implementation including the energy and resource engineering fields
to produce optimal, functional, reinforcing synthetic materials to promote sustainable development using geosynthetics. The
society organizes academic conferences twice a year and a number of workshops in order to facilitate academic and technological
exchanges among members. Our primary focus is to take the lead in the construction of safe and sustainable geo-structures
using geosynthetics and disseminating technological development outcomes. The KGSS also has successful experience hosting
a number of international events such as the 3rd Asian Regional Conference on Geosynthetics (GeoAsia 2004) and the 2011
International Symposium on Sustainable Application of Geosynthetics Technology.
