All S3 technical sessions are presented in plenary format and in depth discussion is encouraged. On Wednesday, August 4 and Thursday, August 5, keynote lecturers and other industry experts will provide presentations on the latest analytical and design methods and practical applications. California case histories will be highlighted, and deep mixing and ground improvement techniques are strongly represented due to their applicability to the San Francisco area.
Invited Speakers
Ross Boulanger (UC Davis)- Prof. Boulanger will overview seismic research efforts with a focus on current initiatives.
Rob Jameson (Malcolm Drilling)- Mr. Jameson will review the last decade of deep mixing practice in San Francisco.
Mark Rice (attorney)- Mr. Rice will address the legal and forensic considerations relative to landslides, causation, forensic analytics, and how post-slide investigations and legal resolutions occur and often falter with inadequate, initial investigation and “crime scene” capture.
All payments are net 30 days from the date of registration and payable in full in advance of the conference dates.

Jeff Segar, P.E., S.E. of Braun Intertec and Co-Chair for the DFI-ADSC Anchored Earth Retention Committee will present the background of the software discussion problem and facilitate the discussion aimed at furthering industry understanding of the use of software for slope stabilization problems. This year's problem focuses on appropriate modeling of groundwater in slope stability analyses. Providers of commonly used software packages will discuss, analyze and present solutions for a real-world slope stabilization problem, highlighting the influence of groundwater variations on the solutions, and provide tips on using packages to produce and validate solutions. The presentation will be followed by a facilitated Q&A discussion.
Professional Development Hours
An increasing number of professional engineering licensing organizations require members to pursue professional development on a formal basis. DFI is pleased to provide a general Certificate of Participation for all its technical programs. This certificate is accepted by most licensing boards and serves as documentation of your pursuit of continuing education credits. There are some states that may not accept the general DFI certificate. Attendees are responsible for determining whether or not DFI PDHs are accepted by their respective licensing board.
NEW! For New York State Licensed Engineers:
- The New York State Educational Department now certifies the PDHs earned by attendees at DFI’s conferences, seminars and workshops.
