The program is in place and the final preparations are under way — and all eyes are starting to turn toward this spring's major event in "the Big D."

The AAPG (with SEPM) Annual Meeting will be held April 18-21 at the Dallas Convention Center, with the Dallas Geological Society serving as hosts. The theme is "Embrace the Future — Celebrate the Past," and the technical program includes more than 400 oral presentations, 450 half-day poster presentations, 13 short courses and 10 field trips.

The technical program is organized around nine themes:

  • Petroleum Risk and Strategy.
  • Exploration and Exploitation.
  • Environmental Issues.
  • Advances and Applications in Technology.
  • Revitalizing Reservoirs.
  • Structure and Tectonics.
  • Sedimentary Geology.
  • Petroleum Systems, Geochemistry and Basin Modeling.
  • Education.

Also offered will be the hundreds of cutting-edge displays that comprise the exhibits hall, where the newest industry technology and information will be available daily.

And the program includes a variety of outstanding speakers for the meeting's many forums and luncheons, including All-Convention Luncheon speaker Amy Myers Jaffe, renowned oil specialist and Wallace Wilson Fellow for Energy Studies at the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, who will discuss OPEC's future role in the evolving oil industry.

Specifics are included in the official convention announcement, which was mailed in January; it also can be found online on the AAPG Web site.

An important date to remember is March 17, the preregistration deadline.

All registrations, including hotel reservations, can be made online.
