AUSTIN, TX — The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Texas Section will present the Texas Civil Engineering Conference (CECON), taking place at Embassy Suites by Hilton San Marcos Hotel, Conference Center & Spa in San Marcos, Texas, on September 15-17, and featuring a variety of educational & networking opportunities with industry leaders and experts. This year’s theme is centered around “Laying the Foundations of Sustainability.”

Participants from across Texas and beyond will have more than 35 educational session topics to choose from throughout the three-day event, including daily Keynote addresses and discussion panels. Industry expert-led Keynote addresses will focus on the $1.6-billion Bois d’Arc Lake Program, Houston’s Sustainability & Resiliency Planning presented by Houston Public Works Director Carol Haddock, PE, and Raising the Grades for Infrastructure at Risk, a deep dive into the 2021 Texas Infrastructure Report Card with leaders from the TCEQ, TWDB, and Trinity River Authority.

Attendees will also hear from several panel discussions, like a Texas Department of Transportation Divisions Town Hall, A Discussion on Design Build Projects in America, panelists from the American General Contractors of Texas and other local contracting community experts, and the Legislative Panel featuring Texas lawmakers like Texas Representative (District 129) and professional civil engineer, Dennis Paul, PE.

The full interactive program can be viewed at www.TexasCECON.org. All civil engineering community and industry professionals and students are encouraged to attend. Registration and hotel rooms are closing soon but a few spots are still open.

Beyond the technical knowledge exchange, there’s no other event at which you can expand your network with an impressive breadth of leaders from across all parts of our industry and state,” said Alexis A. Clarke, PE, Project Manager at Hilti North America.
