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.
