The Future is Now

ASCE Texas Section's Flagship Conference

The Texas Civil Engineering Conference (CECON™) offers a snapshot of the best in Texas civil engineering, while providing unique opportunities to learn and build relationships across the state and beyond, contributing to the industry’s technical diversity as never before.

Like the ancient Romans, including Archimedes—one of the great inventors of the future—engineers have long been on the forefront of inventing the future one invention at a time.

Our engineering ancestors created the world we know today, now it is our turn to create the world of tomorrow. How are we doing this?

  • Implementing new and cutting-edge technologies and best practices

  • Finding essential and emerging technologies through discovery and research

But where are we going? And what kind of future lies ahead? Well, come and explore the possibilities with us at #CECON2023  —  The Future Is NOW!

Top 4 Reasons to Attend CECON:

  • Build relationships with Texas civil engineers & suppliers
  • Explore legislative & industry panels
  • Learn from innovative technical presentations
  • Earn Professional Development Hours (PDHs)

Connect with a statewide audience, while exploring what we are doing now and what comes next within our engineering community.

CECON 2020 was amazing. Content was well balanced and addressed many relevant topics facing Texas civil engineers today. I am very grateful for the hard work behind the scenes to pivot from in-person to a virtual conference. I enjoyed the conference immensely. Let's do it again!

CECON provides you with the opportunity to sharpen not only your technical skills, but your soft skills as well. Leadership and professional development are the most talked about topics in addition to how you can improve technically.
