# Event Details - **Event Name**: 51st Martin S. Kapp Lecture and the 21st Annual “Meet & Greet” Dinner - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 26 Jan, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Mon, 26 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: Geotechnical Engineering in the Information Age: From Properties to Analysis & DesignAbout this EventTechnical Lecture Topic:"Geotechnical Engineering in the Information Age: From Properties to Analysis & Design"Presented by:Dr. J. Carlos SantamarinaProfessor, Clough ChairGeorgia Institute of TechnologyWe are entering a transformative era in geotechnical engineering. For more than a century, our field has advanced through careful observation, physical insight, and methodical testing. Today, it faces a new landscape: pervasive sensing, advanced imaging and visualization, autonomous data collection, intelligent algorithms, vast computational power, and instantaneous information sharing. These unprecedented capabilities are catalysts for reimagining how we explore the subsurface, characterize geomaterials, and design in an increasingly complex world. As these rapid developments reshape our field, we must ensure that innovation strengthens, rather than erodes, the physical intuition that underpins our discipline, which can be threatened by overreliance on data-driven methods. The coming era invites us to rethink long-held assumptions and embrace a more integrated and anticipatory form of geotechnical engineering that is more adaptive and ultimately more equitable. The opportunity before us is clear: to elevate the quality and global consistency of geotechnical engineering everywhere and to set the stage for a new century of informed, innovative practice capable of addressing emerging challenges.Registration/Cocktails at 5:00 pmDinner at 6:30 pm | Technical Lecture at 7:30 pm - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/51st-martin-s-kapp-lecture-and-the-21st-annual-meet-and-greet-dinner/100001970735593210 - **Event Categories**: meetups, meet-and-greet - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 4 hours - Location: Renaissance New York Midtown Hotel - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 268.61, max: 1068.91, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Renaissance New York Midtown Hotel - **lat**: 40.75184 - **long**: -73.9910349 - **full address**: Renaissance New York Midtown Hotel, 218 West 35th Street, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 51st Martin S.

The Geotechnical Group aims to accomplish this through monthly technical lectures and annual specialty seminars. Attendees of the geotechnical lectures and seminar will receive accredited Professional Development Hours (PDHs) applied towards the Continuing Education Program of the P.E. licensing renewal. To learn about our upcoming technical lectures and seminars, please look at the event calendar on the right side of this page.\r\nIf you would like to present one of your projects at one of our monthly lectures, or if you have any particular geotech-related topic that may be of Section members' interest, please do not hesitate to contact any of the group officers." } ] } ] ```
