GeoCon 2026

This year’s theme, “Bridging Regions, Advancing Geoscience,” reflects a simple truth: the Earth does not recognize borders. Tectonic systems, mineral resources, and geohazards are all deeply interconnected, and addressing today’s most pressing geological challenges requires the same level of connection within our scientific community.

Geoscience is advancing at an unprecedented pace. To keep up—and lead—we must break down silos not only between disciplines, but also across regions. GeoCon 2026 is committed to building stronger bridges that will move our field forward.

Strengthening Regional Collaboration
We are fostering deeper partnerships across the ASEAN region and beyond, promoting the open exchange of data, expertise, and best practices. Through collaboration, we can better address shared geological challenges and improve outcomes for all communities.

Driving Technological Integration
From advanced geostatistical modeling to machine learning applications in resource estimation and exploration, geoscience is being transformed by technology. GeoCon 2026 highlights how these innovations are reshaping efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making in the field.

Advancing Sustainable Futures
Geoscience plays a vital role in the global transition toward sustainability. This includes supporting responsible resource development, enabling clean energy transitions, strengthening climate resilience, and improving disaster risk reduction strategies for vulnerable regions.

As one community, we recognize that the challenges of tomorrow cannot be solved with the isolated knowledge of yesterday. By bridging regions and disciplines, we unlock the collective intelligence needed to push the frontiers of geoscience forward.

Whether you are an academic presenting cutting-edge research, an industry professional managing complex geological systems, or a student entering the field, GeoCon 2026 welcomes you.

Join us for technical sessions, keynote talks, and meaningful networking opportunities. The conversations we begin here will help shape the future of our profession.

Welcome to GeoCon 2026.

PMRC 219 – Special Topics for ACP-Geologists and PMRC 2020 Updates

This webinar targets current ACPs (Accredited Competent Person), aspiring ACPs and Geologists. Two Special Topics will be presented – Offshore Mineral Resources and Critical Minerals in the Philippine Setting. Offshore Mineral Resources in recent times are becoming increasingly important due to growing demand for raw materials and the gradual depletion of land-based resources, while Critical Minerals are essential for modern technologies, national security, and in the transition to a green economy.

Geologists play a crucial role in identifying, assessing, and developing these minerals resources. Considering that these deposits are found in complex geological settings – requiring advanced exploration techniques, the webinar offers the opportunity for the local mining and exploration industry practitioners to acquire a practical knowledge and understanding of Offshore and Critical Mineral Deposits, particularly in the Philippine geologic setting. The webinar is also open to ACP and non-ACP Mining and Metallurgical Engineers with interests in these mineral deposits.

To register please follow the link: https://app.xperto.ph/event/pmrc219-2025

For queries on this event, you may contact the MRCC Secretariat (i.e. Jess, Kristine and Raymond) thru the following email: mrcc@geolsocphil.org

We look forward to your active participation in this webinar and in future GSP-PMRCC training initiatives.
