18th Annual BGC Pipeline Geohazard Symposium X Cambio User Group

Houston, TX
April 14, 2026

Dynamic hazards. Aging infrastructure. Budget cuts.
More data than ever — and still hard decisions to make.

We had over 30 different pipeline operators join us in Calgary on March 10 to connect with fellow geohazard and integrity engineers. Hosted at the PRCI Technology Development Center, we hope you can join us in Houston for another one-day, practitioner-led deep dive into the strategies, tools, and real-world lessons shaping modern geohazard risk management. This year’s symposium aims to create a space for honest conversations about what’s working, what’s not, and where geohazard programs are heading next.

Sessions will examine how to balance up-front mitigation against ongoing monitoring, inspection, and management costs, with dedicated time to compare notes with peers who are wrestling with the same slopes, rivers, budgets, and uncertainties you are.
