This event, exclusively sponsored by Shell, is designed to bridge the gap between students, young professionals, and experienced professionals. At this event, students and mentors are paired up for small round table discussions to gain an insider’s perspective into the petroleum industry and share direction on the meeting itself and what to expect.

All registered students and faculty are invited to attend the Student Reception for food, fun and networking. Meet AAPG leaders and officers as well as executives from the long-time corporate sponsor, ExxonMobil. In addition to these industry connections, you can also meet up with fellow students-all in a fun and relaxing environment.

Young professionals, recent graduates and students preparing to enter the industry in coming years will benefit from this interactive session

call for judges

Judges Needed

Have you ever thought about volunteering as a technical presentation judge at ICE? Judges perform the crucial role of determining the winners of the Gabriel Dengo Memorial Award (for best oral presentation at ICE) and the Ziad Beydoun Memorial Award (for best poster presentation at ICE), as well as the Carlos Walter M. Campos and Ozan Sungurlu Memorial Awards for best student presentations. Whether it’s your 50th ICE or your first, participating as a judge is a great way to get involved. Just sign up during online conference registration and indicate which poster and/or oral presentations best fit your schedule and interests. All attendees, including students, YPs, Associates, and Members are encouraged to sign up. Worried you’re not a subject matter expert? Don’t be! Critical listening and thoughtful evaluation are the only required skills. Plus, you can network while you learn! Still unsure about being a judge? Email with questions. See you in Buenos Aires!
