Program
The program of the Conferences is under finalization. PGES plans to host a three (3) day event. As per plan, 9AYGEC will be held on the first day (Dec 5, 2019), PGES 15ICGE will be held on the second day (Dec 6, 2019) and a technical tour will be held on the final day (Dec 7, 2019) making it a memorable event for the honorable delegates. The Organizing Committee of these two Conferences expects a very warm response from all the professionals to make these Conferences a big success.
