The ACEC Annual Convention & Legislative Summit provides engineering leaders direct access to policy insights, business intelligence, and industry connections critical for their profession. Through high-impact general sessions, targeted breakouts, meaningful networking opportunities, and essential Capitol Hill visits, attendees will gain knowledge and connections to empower their firms and employees. This event delivers high-impact education, timely insights, and meaningful connections for engineering firm leaders, allowing them to engage in compelling general sessions and focused, issue-driven breakouts aligned with today’s most pressing business and policy challenges, while earning PDH credits. Attendees can deepen their understanding of ACEC and the full value of their membership by connecting with coalitions, committees, and programs designed to strengthen firms and develop talent.

This convention is an investment in a firm’s future, as attendees return with the insights, connections, and influence necessary to thrive in a competitive and rapidly changing marketplace. Key focus areas include Future Market Intelligence (forecasts on funding, federal programs, and regulatory trends), Advocacy Impact (engaging directly with lawmakers), Competitive Positioning (understanding industry direction), Leadership Development, and National Networking.
