3D Slope Models: Simple. Accurate. Powerful.

Following the resounding success of our inaugural event in Almaty in 2024, Rocscience is delighted to invite you to our exclusive, invite-only User Group Meet in Kazakhstan for 2025. This event offers a unique opportunity to engage with Rocscience leadership, connect with peers from across the region, and advance geotechnical engineering practice using Rocscience solutions.

NOTE: The User Group Meet will be on November 10, 2025 and registration the event is free. Please contact idm@rocscience.com and/or info@idm-service.kz or under the number +7 701 7137424 (whatsapp/telegram also available) to register for the User Group Meet. If you are registering for the 3-day course, you will automatically be a part of the User Group Meet and do not need to register for it separately.

As part of this year’s gathering, we are pleased to offer an immersive 3-day technical course, providing hands-on learning and direct interaction with industry experts.

We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring program of collaboration, technical insights, and community building.
