Activities
Community Programme
The Community Programme enriches your EAGE Annual experience with professional development and networking initiatives.
Most of the scheduled activities take place at the EAGE Community Hub. Located on the Exhibition Floor, it is the best place to meet with EAGE staff, and ask questions about the Annual and the range of services that EAGE provides, like Membership, EarthDoc & Learning Geoscience.
Please note some of the Community activities take place at different locations within the venue.
