The adoption and integration of information technologies in practice and academia has had significant impact on all aspects of the field of geotechnical engineering including field characterization, laboratory characterization, numerical simulation, data management, subsurface visualization and geotechnical education. The objectives of the 2006 Geo- Congress are to (a) showcase recent advancements in all geo-applications as a result of the adoption of information technologies; (b) debate future opportunities for the geo-industry that can result from even more widespread adoption of information technologies; and (c) bring together participants from a broad range of groups within the geo-community including those working in areas reflected in the Geo- Institute technical committees, those from technical committees of other organizations who work at the intersection of information technology and geotechnical engineering, those involved in advancing the use of information technology in geotechnical practice, those involved in geotechnical information research and education, as well as vendors of equipment, instrumentation, hardware and software who facilitate the generation, capture, management, simulation, analysis and visualization of geotechnical information.
