Welcome to the home of the Best in the West! This site was created to bring together two great chapters of the International Society of Explosives Engineers, the Northern Plains Chapter and the Black Hills Chapter, and one great conference, the Best in the West Drilling and Blasting Conference.
This site was constructed to make it easier for individuals or companies to pay membership dues, register for the Best in the West Conference, stay in touch with upcoming events, and keep up-to-date with the drilling and blasting industry.
Please take some time and navigate through the site. Don't forget to check the sponsorship page. These companies help support both chapters and without their help this website would not be possible.
Make plans now to attend the 35th Annual Best in the West Drill and Blast Conference on April 17-19, 2024, in Spearfish, South Dakota. We are looking forward to it!
We would also love to hear from you or answer any questions about the conference that you may have. Give us your thoughts by clicking on the "Contact us" tab to send us an email.
Thanks again for visiting our site.
