More than 900 individuals attended ACEC’s Annual Convention & Legislative Summit, which featured dozens of business management education sessions, networking opportunities, and insights from leading keynote speakers.
We heard from American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Kevin Kosar and NPR Political Correspondent Mara Liasson on the upcoming presidential election and the state of American politics.
Pollster and messaging expert Michael Maslansky gave a timely presentation on environmental, social, and governance (ESG), offering attendees several ways to frame their efforts around ESG that convey good intentions versus moral judgment.
A sold-out crowd of nearly 800 members and guests celebrated the 2024 Engineering Excellence Awards (EEA) to honor a record 203 project submissions in this year’s competition. Special congratulations to AECOM for winning the Grand Conceptor Award for the year’s most outstanding engineering achievement: Grand Central Madison in New York City.
We ended our Convention with an Engineering and Public Works Roadshow event at the DC Infrastructure Academy, a project with a unique emphasis on training Washington, D.C., residents for in-demand infrastructure and public works jobs. We were joined at the event by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.
This issue includes complete Convention highlights, an introduction to the members of the 2024-2025 Executive Committee, and a look at how artificial intelligence is being used by engineering firms.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Washington, D.C., in May. We look forward to seeing you all again at ACEC’s 2024 Fall Conference, October 20-23, at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans.
