Officials from the organization say that the conference will include several hands-on opportunities, including a tour of a seismic shake test site and a hardware demonstration.

“We are pleased to share several interactive elements at this conference by featuring unique experiences for in-person participants,” says meeting manager Florica Vlad. “I am especially looking forward to commending several of our members during the awards banquet, which falls on Valentine’s Day and is themed accordingly.”
