The 1994 AAPG Annual Convention will be held in Denver, Colorado, from June 12-15, 1994. The theme of the Convention is "Analogs for the World", in recognition of the increasingly global arena of hydrocarbon exploration and development.

Geological and Biological Evolution of the Caribbean Region is the theme of a 3-day Symposium, in honour of the 60th Birthday of Professor Edward Robinson, to be hosted by the Department of Geology at the U.W.I., Mona, Jamaica, from October 15, 1994. It is hoped that the range of papers offered will be as broad as Ted Robinson's interests within Geology.
