One of the important activities of the Society is the series of regional conferences held once every two or three years. These conferences are held in the member countries of the Society and offer unique opportunities for the geotechnical engineers in the region, as well as those from outside, to meet and exchange ideas. To date, fourteen Southeast Asian Conferences of the Society have been held or currently being planned as follows:

1st Conference in Bangkok (1967): Dr. Za-Chien Moh, served as Chairman of the Organizing Committee.

The Southeast Asian Geotechnical Society is one of the national societies of ISSMGE in Asia. Asian Regional Conferences are held once in four years. Dr. Za-Chieh Moh and Dr. E.W. Brand actively participated in the 3rd Asian Regional Conference held in Haifa, Israel, in 1967. The 4th Asian Regional Conference was hosted by the Society in Bangkok in 1971. It was one of the most successful Asian Regional Conferences and was attended by over 500 participants. Drs. Za-Chieh Moh, E.W. Brand and A.S. Balasubramaniam attended the 5th Asian Regional Conference held in 1975 in Bangalore, India. The 6th Asian Regional Conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, sponsored by the Society and organized by the Institute of Engineers, Singapore, was held in Singapore in July, 1979. Dr. Tan Swan Beng served as Chairman of the Organizing Committee. Prof. Peter Lumb and Prof. A.S. Balasubramaniam attended the 7th Asian Regional Conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering held in Haifa, Israel, in 1983.

Subsequent Asian Regional Conference (ARC) were held in Kyoto, Japan in 1987; Bangkok, Thailand in 1991; Beijing, China in 1995; and in Seoul, Korea in 1999. Several prominent personalities of SEAGS have participated in these Regional Conferences. Special mention refer to the Asian Regional Conference in 1991 which was held in Bangkok with Prof. A.S.
