Introduction

On behalf of the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), we would like to invite you to Structures Congress 2017 in Denver, Colorado, April 6–8, 2017 at the Colorado Convention Center. Important reasons to attend this conference are to network and make connections with leaders in your profession, gain knowledge by attending outstanding technical sessions, and earn Professional Development Hours (PDHs) in technical sessions. When in Denver, you should stay an extra day to enjoy the walkable downtown, art museums, award-winning food, the Rocky Mountains and much more.

As a civil engineering professional, you know you can find the latest information, innovations, and technologies when you attend ASCE conferences. You also know that to be competitive, you must constantly fine-tune your skills, find new ways to cut costs, streamline processes, and drive change.

These resources can help you gain approval to attend:

  • Program: Identify specific courses that are beneficial to your company and calculate the PDHs you can earn toward maintaining your license.

  • Expenses: Register as early as possible to take advantage of early-bird prices and book your accommodations through our room block to maximize savings and enhance your networking experience.

  • Share: Demonstrate what you have learned by sharing with your colleagues in a post-conference presentation.
