The Geological Society of the Philippines (GSP) is the only accredited integrated professional organization (AIPO) of geologists in the Philippines by the Professional Regulation Commission.
The organization works and supports initiatives to advance the science and profession of geology and related fields, including raising public awareness on Earth’s dynamic systems and natural events that impact the society. This goal is attained through the conduct of trainings, symposia, local and international conferences, seminars and online education activities such as webinars and discussion forums.
The GSP encourages its members to pursue scientific research to generate new knowledge and scientific data that contribute to a better understanding of the geology and tectonics of the Philippines, in particular, and geosciences, in general. The annual Geological Convention (GeoCon) provides a good opportunity for the exchange of ideas among Filipino and foreign geoscientists. Significant contributions and advances in the field have also been documented in the Journal of the Geological Society of the Philippines.
GSP organizes and supports forums that inform its members of the latest ideas and developments in the study of Philippine tectonics, Asian tectonics and related topics like metallogenesis, seismology and geohazards, among others.
Geology is a noble profession requiring high degree of morality, technical knowledge and personal responsibility to co-professionals, employers and clients, and to the community

INVITATION
On behalf of the Geological Society of the Philippines Scientific Committee, we are thrilled to invite you to participate in the annual Geological Convention or GeoCon2024. This year’s conference theme, “GeoCon2024: Filipino geologists - Bridging geoscience, technology, and industry for a better Philippines” aims to bring together professionals and researchers from a wide range of disciplines in geosciences.
The conference will serve as a conduit for geoscience professionals and academics from different fields to have a dialogue on a broad range of topics that includes the role of geoscience in energy development; geochemical and geophysical approaches to study volcanism and tectonics; seismic, landslide, and earthquake engineering studies; hazard recognition, forecasting, and mitigation; and future environmental issues and trends.
GeoCon2024 offers both oral and poster scientific sessions.
DATE AND VENUE
GeoCon2024 will be held from December 4 - 5, 2024 in Novotel, Araneta Center, Philippines. Additional details regarding the conference venue will be released in the succeeding circulars.
