The Deep Foundation Engineering Development Forum (AFDF) is jointly hosted by the Deep Foundation and Underground Space Engineering Branch of the China Construction Industry Association, the Pile Machinery Branch of the China Construction Machinery Society, and the Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering Branch of the China Civil Engineering Society. It has been successfully held in 2011 (Weihai), 2012 (Chongqing), 2013 (Xi'an), 2014 (Guangzhou), 2015 (Hangzhou), 2016 (Beijing), 2017 (Xiamen), 2018 (Nanchang), and 2019 (Wuxi). After nine years of continuous exchange, the forum's themes are closely aligned with the industry's development direction, with rich and varied sessions and a scale that has grown year by year. It is highly specialized and market-oriented, and can be regarded as an annual high-level forum for both the engineering and academic communities. It is the best platform for exchange and cooperation in the deep foundation engineering field in China with significant influence.

　　2020 marks the 10th anniversary of the Deep Foundation Engineering Development Forum. The 10th forum is scheduled to be held at the Shungeng International Exhibition Center in Jinan, Shandong. The specific conference time will be announced separately. With the theme of "Integration and Deep Cultivation, Leading Development", elites from domestic and international politics, business, and academia will be invited to discuss high-quality and sustainable development of deep foundation engineering and other hot topics in the industry, leading and promoting the industry towards high-quality and sustainable development. Concurrently, the 2nd Deep Foundation Engineering Innovative Technology and Equipment Trade Fair will be held to promote the implementation of technical product cooperation. We sincerely invite colleagues from academia and industry in this field to contribute papers and join us in this grand event!
