LEARN
The Florida Section Annual Conference brings 80+ 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. We offer ½ day geared towards them, including a thinking outside the box leadership seminar geared towards our millennial 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.
CONNECT
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.
