Conference coming soon for drillers, blasters

The ISEE Annual Conference on Explosives & Blasting Technique returns Feb. 4-8.

The Grant Hyatt in San Antonio is the host venue for this year’s event, which is the 49th in the history of ISEE (the International Society of Explosives Engineers). As usual, attendees can expect a slew of educational opportunities to be available, including sessions and breakouts that will elevate their knowledge of drilling and blasting.

Among the topics to be covered at this year’s sessions are safety, technology and explosives selection. Workshops will cover a variety of topics, including flyrock prevention, seismographs and transporting explosives.

Additionally, ISEE says it will have an improved demonstration stage at the conference featuring live demos. Dubbed “The Bench,” ISEE says exhibitors will share techniques, strategies and product innovations in front of attendees.
