Geoscience Technical Workshops

AAPG Geoscience Technical Workshops (GTWs) are all about answering the question, “How are we doing it now?” by diving into real case studies and examples from the field. It’s all about sharing what’s working (and what’s not) in an open, interactive setting where experts openly share insights, experiences, and solutions. The 1-3 day sessions are split into two tracks—research and application—so there’s something for everyone, whether you're digging into the data or putting it into practice.

Field Seminars

Get out of the classroom or office and into the field with AAPG Field Seminars! These geological adventures take place around the world and will give you practical, hands-on experience by combining field work and real-world case studies in an immersive, fun way.

Short courses

AAPG short courses are 1-2 day technical events that are designed to deepen your expertise around specific, advanced geological topics.
