Sponsorship & Exhibition

The New Zealand Geotechnical Society (NZGS) is delighted to invite you to sponsor or exhibit at the First International Joint Workshop of JTC1 and JTC3 on Landslide Risk Assessment, Communication, and Geo-Education (LaRGE2026).

This landmark international event unites JTC1 and JTC3 to advance landslide risk assessment, education, communication, and outreach—creating a unique opportunity for real impact. This workshop is different from a normal conference. As a workshop conference it will focus on developing new science and producing real deliverables that will outlive the event and drive meaningful change in New Zealand and around the world. We look forward to your participation in making LaRGE2026 a success, and to being permanently associated with the great outcomes of the workshop!

By sponsoring, your organisation will have the opportunity to profile your ideas and solutions on the global stage, and connect with global experts, local practitioners, and key decision-makers from around Australasia.

Expected attendance

This conference is expected to be attended by over 300 people spanning world-class academics, technical experts, asset owners, policymakers (including central and local government) and the business sector (primarily geotechnical professionals in consulting and contracting, and risk managers including insurers) to share and explore cutting-edge issues in landslide risk assessment, management and landslide related geo-education and outreach. As a shared workshop between Joint Technical Committee 1 and Joint Technical Committee 3, we expect the most influential international experts in these fields to attend, including the JTC1 and JTC3 committee members. In addition, the International Society for Engineering Geology and the Environment will be hosting its Executive Committee meeting, so we will be joined by the President and International Vice Presidents. We expect that about two thirds of the attendees will be from Australasia, with the rest from around the world.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship of the LaRGE 2026 Workshop provides a unique opportunity for your organisation to show your support and raise your profile in the geotechnical industry. We invite you to participate in the event as an active partner with a number of different sponsorship packages and opportunities to select from (Platinum, Gold or Silver). If you have something specific in mind our team is available to work with you to tailor a package that meets your requirements.
