ASCE Texas Section's Flagship Conference

The Texas Civil Engineering Conference (CECON™) is a noteworthy celebration that brings together the best in Texas civil engineering providing unique opportunities to learn and build relationships across the state and beyond.

No matter what your role within the civil engineering industry, we all share a common responsibility: advancing sustainability and strengthening our stewardship of the built and natural environments for future generations.

As we look at today’s challenges, such as climate adaptation, resource management, infrastructure durability, and long‑term community well‑being, our work demands thoughtful, innovative approaches. This year’s theme invites us to reexamine how we design, plan, construct, and maintain our systems with resilience at the forefront.
