Do you remember our National Conference, in October 2013? It was a great event, gathering over 150 people from across the UK and beyond to explore how geologists can help fight global poverty. Don’t forget, you can find a series of photographs from the event on our Facebook page.

Whether you attended this event or not, we’re keen to gather some information that will help us shape and plan our next Annual Conference (and other future events). If you could spare 5 minutes to complete the form (linked to below), it would be very much appreciated.
