I. About the Forum
　　The Deep Foundation Engineering Development Forum is jointly hosted by the Deep Foundation and Underground Space Engineering Branch of China Construction Industry Association, the Piling Machinery Branch of China Construction Machinery Industry Association, the Piling Machinery Branch of China Construction Machinery Society, and the Pile Foundation Professional Committee of the Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering Branch of China Civil Engineering Society. It has been successfully held in 2011 (Weihai), 2012 (Chongqing), 2013 (Xi'an), 2014 (Guangzhou), 2015 (Hangzhou), 2016 (Beijing), and 2017 (Xiamen). After 7 years of careful cultivation, its forum themes closely follow the industry development direction, with rich and colorful activities and increasing scale year by year. It is highly professional and market-oriented, and can be called an annual high-level forum for the engineering and academic circles. It is the best platform for exchange and cooperation in the deep foundation engineering field with significant influence in China.
　　The 8th Forum is scheduled to be held on March 28-31, 2018 in Nanchang, Jiangxi. The forum warmly welcomes experts, professors, scholars, enterprises and institutions, engineering technicians, and doctoral and master's students in this field to actively participate!
