Networking is the key to professional development and career opportunities.  The Annual Conference is the perfect opportunity to meet with members you haven’t seen in a while, in addition to meeting potential clients or employers.  Conference networking takes place during the morning and afternoon refreshment breaks located in the exhibitor area and at the cocktail parties.

The Florida Section Annual Conference brings 90+ technical and professional development sessions in 7 tracks of engineering: structural, geotechnical, environmental & water resources, transportation, utilities, sustainability and professional development.  The conference offers something for everyone, including our growing number of student members.   The technical sessions will be in 25-minute and 50-minute blocks. In addition the state required two-hour Laws/Rules & Ethics course will be offered.

Many products and services needed for your next solution can be found in the exhibitor area of the annual conference.  Exhibitors are open on Thursday from 10am to 5:00pm and Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm.  They make themselves available to share with you their newest product to help your engineering needs.

The 2026 Annual Conference will take place at the beautiful Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale.  The hotel has the many luxuries you’ve come to expect at a Florida Section conference –  pool, spa and excellent dining.  The surrounding area has many sights, activities and adventures available for attendees and their families before, during and after the conference.
