Conference Overview

Gussow 2026 explores the Cretaceous of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin—one of its most dynamic and economically significant intervals.

Through a curated, single-track program, the conference integrates regional frameworks, depositional systems, and Lower and Upper Cretaceous case studies to deliver both scientific depth and operational relevance.

The result: a cohesive understanding of how Cretaceous stratigraphy and reservoir characteristics shape modern exploration and development.

About the Gussow Conference Series

The Gussow Conference is CEGA’s flagship single-track technical event.

Known for its focused format and high-caliber content, Gussow creates a shared technical experience where every attendee participates in the same sessions. This structure fosters deeper discussion, integrated learning, and stronger professional connections.

For geoscientists working in the WCSB, Gussow is one of the most concentrated and relevant technical gatherings of the year.

Conference Organizer

Since 1927, the Canadian Energy Geoscience Association (CEGA), formerly known as the CSPG, has been a member-based association committed to fostering geoscientists’ professional development throughout their careers. The primary mission of the Association is to advance the professions of the energy geosciences – as it applies to geology; foster the scientific, technical learning and professional development of its members; and promote the awareness of the profession to industry and the public.
