The CEGSS conference is the main academic event held by the CEGSS. The conference aims to gather graduate students, from all Canadian universities, in a friendly yet professional atmosphere to interact, present, and discuss their ongoing research.

The CEGSS Conference is funded by grants, donations, and the generous support from industry sponsors. Through the years, the CEGSS conference was successful in attracting major civil engineering firms. The conference provides a recruiting platform and a unique networking and advertising opportunity for firms working within the civil engineering community.

The conference is held annually, around the end of the winter term. The conference proceedings take place over the course of one day. The conference program mainly comprises of three technical sessions; each session is commenced by keynote presentations given by McGill professors to describe their current and future research work.

The sessions involve oral presentations given by graduate students, in addition to a poster session, covering all disciplines of civil engineering (i.e. structural, transportation, environmental, and geotechnical engineering). To boost the competitive spirit, cash awards are offered for outstanding posters and presentations based on the audience feedback.

With the contribution of our fellow graduate students, esteemed professors, and the support of our sponsors, the CEGSS is working harder each year to expand this venue and reach a larger audience. We hope that this conference will keep enriching the academic life at McGill University and energizing the graduate student community within the Department of Civil Engineering.
