"I want to write about the International Conference on Geo-Disasters and Construction Engineering (ICGCE 2024), held at the University of Waterloo, Canada. The organizing and scientific committees did an excellent job preparing for this significant international event. Many international experts gathered to share their knowledge and experiences in geotechnical engineering. I delivered my keynote lecture online, as the conference had a hybrid structure, allowing both in-person and virtual participation.
