Make Plans Now For Denver

The official announcement for the 2001 AAPG annual meeting in Denver has been completed and is being mailed to the membership.

This year's meeting, with the theme of "2001: An Energy Odyssey," will be held June 3-6 at the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver.

The 82-page announcement features a greeting from general chairman Steve Sonnenberg and provides all of the information members need in planning their trip, including the technical program, forums, education courses, field trips, speakers, housing and leisure activities, as well as some general information about visiting the Denver area.

It also gives information on special attractions that will be found at the meeting, including details on the huge exhibition hall; the Prospect and Property Marketplace; an Interactive E-Poster session; AAPG Center activities; receptions; and the Career Transition Workshop.

The announcement groups topics in the technical program into general themes, designed to help readers "navigate" through the listings of oral sessions, posters, short courses and field trips.

Themes for the 2001 meeting are:

• Business, Opportunity and Vision.
• Environment.
• Technology.
• Gas.
• Petroleum Systems.
• Depositional Systems and Sequence Stratigraphy.
• Reservoir Geology and Characterization.
• Structure and Tectonics.

Registration and housing reservation forms are included, as is a reminder: April 26 is the preregistration deadline.
