Earthquake Engineering Research Institute
2015 EERI Annual Meeting
- Meeting Theme: Old Cities, New Earthquakes
- Meeting Location: Boston Park Plaza Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts
- Meeting Dates: March 31 - April 3, 2015
- Meeting Summary:
The 67th EERI Annual Meeting broke new ground by convening in the Northeast for the first time in the Institute’s history. Over 500 attendees, including more than 200 students, came together in Boston, Massachusetts, for a full program of workshops, presentations, and the popular undergraduate seismic design competition.
From the first plenary session to the meeting’s final workshop, the program touched on the potential for large earthquakes in a city popularly considered outside “earthquake country." Great thanks are extended to the local organizing committee from the EERI New England Regional Chapter, which arranged for trainings, workshops, and local tours, and created a lively program featuring national and regional experts.
