AEG 64th Annual Meeting Rock-n the River

Jeff Neathery, AEG 2021 Annual Committee Chair
EG’s 64th Annual Meeting was held at the Westin Riverwalk Hotel in downtown San Antonio, Texas, from September 20–26, 2021. For the 223 attendees, the meeting was a great success. Some described it as a more “intimate meeting.” The big cloud hovering over the meeting was Covid. We took great care in protecting our attendees, but many chose to stay home, some canceling just a few weeks before the meeting. As a result, most of the Field Courses and all four Guest Trips were cancelled. Some of the other activities were scaled back. Despite the challenges of the last two years, we remain optimistic and thankful that we were able to host the Annual Meeting in person and hope that we can continue to do so in the future to provide much needed networking, interaction, and collaborative education. The meeting kicked off on Monday with the field course: Texas Hill Country Terroir Experience. We were able to run two additional courses, Karst Cave and Canyon Lake Gorge (pictured). The attendees raved that they were some of the best courses that they have ever attended.
