Hawthorne, N.J. (March 11, 2026):  Registration is now open for S3: Slopes, Support and Stabilization — a two-and-a-half-day, solutions-focused technical seminar dedicated to the real-world application of deep foundations, ground improvement and soil mixing. Taking place August 11–13 in Charlotte, North Carolina, the conference program delivers practical strategies for stabilizing slopes, supporting structures and managing risk in demanding ground conditions.

“This is where engineers, contractors and owners come together to solve the challenges faced on the most difficult jobsites,” says Conference Chair Jeff Harmston, ECA. “S3 delivers knowledge you can put to work immediately — from innovative design approaches to proven construction solutions.”

Beyond the technical sessions, attendees can explore a dynamic exhibit hall highlighting the latest materials, equipment and services, and build valuable connections at committee meetings and networking events — including the welcome reception and the DFI Women in Deep Foundations (WiDF) Committee reception.

Industry professionals can register to attend, sponsor and exhibit at www.dfi-events.org/s3-26/.
