Agenda

We have prepared another exciting program to cover a wide range of Civil Engineering and Public Works topics. We plan to cover these topics in two (2) concurrent tracks with multiple sessions over 3 days: Wednesday afternoon (July 29), Thursday morning (July 30) and Friday morning (July 31).

The agenda is also published on the Eventify registration page.

Wednesday, July 29

The opening day will start with lunch in the Exhibit Hall. After lunch, we will start with a plenary session followed by a break. After the break, the plenary session continues until the end of the day.

On Wednesday night, all conference attendees and their families are invited to return to the Exhibit Hall for an Opening Reception hosted by the Captain’s Circle sponsors and our exhibitors. The Opening Reception will include heavy hors d’oeuvres, cash bar, games, and more.

Thursday, July 30

The second day will start with breakfast in the Exhibit Hall, followed by concurrent technical sessions that will last until the break. A morning break will be provided in the Exhibit Hall. After the break, concurrent technical sessions will resume until lunch.

Attendees are encouraged to engage with our exhibitors throughout the day and to be on the lookout for some possible offsite activities hosted by exhibitors later in the afternoon.

On Thursday afternoon, the ASCE Mobile Branch will host a Younger Member Track for area younger members and interested conference attendees. They will also join us Thursday night for the “Port Royal Boil” by hosting a cornhole tournament.

On Thursday night, all conference attendees and their families are invited to join the newly branded “Port Royal Boil” Gathering hosted by our sponsors. Building off of the success of last year, we will return with a seafood boil, a kids zone with activities, live entertainment and cash bar.

Friday, July 31

The final day will start with a breakfast in the Exhibit Hall, followed by another plenary session through the break. A morning break will be provided in the Exhibit Hall. After the break, concurrent technical sessions will continue until lunch.

New this year, we will offer a 4-hr Concrete Basics and Inspection course that public works employees can attend separately from the conference. We anticipate many local public works employees to attend this track and look forward to having them at the conference. Regular conference attendees are able to attend this session at no additional cost in lieu of the regular sessions but must RSVP for the session using the Eventify app due to limited seating.

Conference attendees are asked to stay until lunch to get the most out of the technical sessions provided. A box lunch will be provided to-go afterwards.


Sponsors and Exhibitors

We offer exciting sponsor and exhibitor packages along with social activities to ensure everyone has a great time interacting with the exhibitors and attendees from both organizations!

Our conference averages a combined total of 200 people in attendance from both organizations, with attendees ranging from public employees working as engineering and public works officials at local municipalities and counties, to state employees, to private consultants, to every vendor in between. If this is your first year attending, or you have been attending for many years, we hope to provide new opportunities to make the most of your investment and time at our conference.
