This year’s EXPO theme is Building Legacies and underscores the long-lasting impact public works professionals have on their communities. Public works professionals are tasked with designing, constructing, and maintaining essential infrastructure that not only serve current residents but also shape the lives of future generations. Their work goes beyond immediate functionality; it involves envisioning sustainable solutions that promote environmental stewardship, enhancing quality of life, and fostering economic growth. By prioritizing innovation, collaboration, and community engagement, public works professionals lay the foundation for resilient, thriving communities, ultimately creating a legacy of progress and prosperity that endures for years to come. In the spirit of building legacies, we’ve created four tracks that focus on the qualities that can help us build strong legacies in our communities.
- Cultivating Relationships: People Management, Workforce Development, Communication, DEI
- Dreaming Beyond the Ordinary: Innovation and New Technology
- Motivating the Next Generation: Young Professional Track
- Turn Planning into Action: Constructed Projects (all types)
But don’t feel limited by these topics, we are still interested in our other public works related topics. Also please note, this year we are offering both 30min and 60min presentation slots.
