Bienvenue!
Id like to personally invite each of you to my home, New Orleans aka NOLA,
and the host city for the ASCE 2017 Convention.Get ready because weve created
an exciting convention for you!
From compelling short courses to amazing technical tours, this years convention week
is chock full of high-caliber technical sessions and career enhancing opportunities.
All in the same new program format featured at our NYC and Portland conventions,
designed for you and for your boss to send you.
Youll hear first-hand accounts from experts on natural disaster response and recovery,
and learn how New Orleans used rebuilding as an opportunity to strengthen
community life and social justice. Also, we will offer optional tours for both convention
attendees and guests to explore The Big Easy.
Youll have abundant opportunities to meet and engage with a cross section
of leaders from the public-sector community, the consulting engineering sector,
academia, and colleagues from around the world not only through learning sessions
but also through networking events, lunches, dinners, and more that will take place
throughout the convention.
Theres so much to do in New Orleans, but here are a few things you cant miss. Stop
by Cafe du Monde to try some caf au lait and beignets, take in some live Jazz at
Preservation Hall, savor some Creole cuisine at Commanders Palace, and take a ride
on one of NOLAs historic street cars.
Its an exciting time forcivil engineersas we continue to grow and adapt, remaining
always resilient, motivated, and responsive to changes in the profession. The world
ofcivil engineeringis an exciting area in which to work, and we will continue to meet
and bring inspired people together in forums like this to ensure weremain relevant.
