Event Description:


Join us for the 2025 ACEC-WSDOT Joint Meeting? A full day of insightful discussions, meaningful connections, and valuable collaboration.

This annual event is a cornerstone for strengthening the partnership between private industry and WSDOT. There's no better venue to engage directly with both long-time colleagues and new faces, all working together to move Washington's transportation projects forward.

Networking remains at the heart of this gathering, providing a rare and powerful opportunity to build relationships that enhance how we deliver infrastructure across the state. When ACEC and WSDOT connect, great things happen.

Expect a lineup of timely, relevant presentations from ACEC and WSDOT leaders that reflect the depth and strength of our ongoing collaboration. Don't miss this chance to be part of the conversation that drives progress.
