ASCE 2025 Convention

The ASCE Convention is the Society’s premiere membership event. It is a single annual opportunity where the entire Society joins together, reflecting ASCE's diversity.

The ASCE Convention’s core message is to encourage civil engineering leaders to Engineer, Innovate, and Lead and INSPIRE a better world. Building on the great work of the INSPIRE 2023 Conference, the 2025 Convention will prepare attendees to focus on how we can best position ourselves for a prosperous future, building more resilient and sustainable infrastructure systems in the United States and across the globe taking into account climate change. Sessions being considered will highlight innovative and new solutions/systems for the current and future workforce, equitable infrastructure planning, and nature-based solutions, to deliver more resilient and sustainable infrastructure, emerging technologies, adaptation to climate change and more. We look forward to hearing from infrastructure owners, academia, practitioners, and federal, state, and local agencies.
