2023 KEG Virtual Lecture Series


Since 2003, KEG has presented a lecture series for the general public free of charge to promote the interest of mining, earth & natural sciences and mineral exploration. Our talks committee once again put together a wonderful series with diverse topics and speakers.

The 2023 KEG Virtual Lecture Series will be announced soon, but you can mark your calendars now with the dates below. 

KEG will be using Zoom Webinar to host the 2023 Lecture Series. Zoom is a free app that can be downloaded to a smartphone, tablet or home computer. When joining the webinar, you will be in a waiting room until the lecture begins at 7 PM PST. We recommend an early sign in.

Lectures will continue to run every second Thursday at 7 PM PST and will be followed by a question/ answer opportunity through the zoom chat function.

When attending a lecture through Zoom Webinar, all attendee's cameras and microphones will automatically be set to off. KEG representatives and speakers will be the only people seen and heard.


All lectures are FREE to attend.
