Registration
Registration is open for the 2026 event. We offer in-person and remote registration options. If you are officially retired and are not seeking continuing education, we offer reduced rates for that registration.
Early Registration, with reduced rates, ends on March 1 at 11:59 PM. Regular registration ends on March 20 at 11:59 PM. Non-Academic Professional remote registration ends on March 27 at 11:59 PM. Remote attendees will be emailed an online program with webinar links on or before March 31.
With over 40 presentations in concurrent sessions on topics such as groundwater remediation and modeling, site characterization, geophysics, geomechanics, and more, the annual David S. Snipes/Clemson Hydrogeology Symposium draws scientists and engineers from universities, government and industry to the Madren Conference Center at Clemson University. The presentations will cover a wide assortment of topics, from hydrogeology to contaminated site remediation to geophysics.
Due to space constraints, after we reach 350 in-person attendees, registration becomes remote only.
