139th Annual Civil Engineering Conference: From Builders to Integrators – Civil Engineers Leading the Way. This year’s annual conference will be held in Kansas City for the first time in 35 years! It does not get this close to home very often, so take advantage and mark your calendars for October 29-31, 2009. You can earn up to 24 PDH’s by attending the conference concurrent sessions and short courses. The outlook of our profession is at a crossroads and the time for civil engineers to choose our path is now. Today’s challenges range from infrastructure desperately in need of revitalization and turbulent economic conditions, to managing explosive population growth and providing basic human needs such as clean drinking water. Erik Peterson, Vice President of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, will open the Conference by addressing how you can meet, not only our industry’s new challenges, but its changes as well. As we revamp the role of today’s – and tomorrow’s – civil engineer you’ll have the chance to interact with peers and colleagues from across the globe. Come early for Short Courses aimed to improve your negotiating, communication and leadership skills, or stay later for special Student and Younger Member activities. See how engineers are overcoming challenges in projects throughout the city, including how a subterranean facility was built under an 80 year old memorial, by participating in any of the Technical Tours. After all your hard work, political humorist Ben Stein will wrap up the weekend at the Closing General Session Breakfast with social commentary on the state of the society and the profession. No trip to Kansas City would be complete without experiencing its world-famous barbeque and jazz culture. Rub elbows with Al Capone at ASCE’s Halloween Theme Party and dress as your favorite mobster or dame as you feast on barbeque from around the city, all while enjoying the sounds of the American Jazz Museum. Enjoy more opportunities to explore the culture of Kansas City during this year’s Special Events. To learn more, or to register, please visit: www.asceannualconference.org.
