ASCE2027 key themes

Here are the key themes shaping ASCE2027—we’re seeking bold, future-focused content that inspires and engages.

AI driven design — AI-Driven Design & Cyber Resilience

Where data meets design: dive into the transformative power of AI, digital twins, and big data in infrastructure. Learn how human-machine collaboration is reshaping workflows—and how to defend against cyber and energy threats in a connected world. Push the boundaries of innovation in design and construction: from lower-carbon materials and renewable energy integration to advanced delivery methods and evolving standards that are redefining what’s possible.

Autonomous & Smart Tech Frontiers Hyundai — Autonomous & Smart Tech Frontiers

From eVTOL innovations to next-gen vertiports, we're entering a new era of mobility. Explore how autonomous systems, connected infrastructure, IoT, and smart energy grids are converging to create intelligent, efficient, and sustainable environments.

Deep technical dive bars — Deep Technical Dive

Get granular with the latest breakthroughs in core engineering disciplines. This is where foundational research meets real-world application—advancing civil innovation through deep technical expertise.

Fire — Engineering at the Edge

Designing for the most extreme conditions—whether it's the vacuum of space, the depths of the ocean, or the unpredictability of climate extremes. Discover how engineers are pushing the limits to deliver performance, resilience, and sustainability.

Future materials and construction methods — Future Materials & Construction Methods

Push the boundaries of innovation in design and construction: from lower-carbon materials and renewable energy integration to advanced delivery methods and evolving standards that are redefining what’s possible.

Money trail — Rethinking Infrastructure Finance & Policy

In a post-Federal funding landscape, how do we build smarter? Unpack new financing models, policy shifts, and streamlined delivery strategies that prioritize public health, safety, sustainability, and community-centered design. Engineering leadership starts here. Discover strategies to grow and retain global talent, expand career pathways, and prepare the next generation.

Session types

This is your chance to plug your expertise into an energizing and immersive infrastructure experience. Scroll below to find the session setup that works best for your idea. Please note that this is only the selection of a preference; the Technical Program Committee ultimately determines the final session type designation for all presentations at the event.

All 60-90 minute session proposals that are not for panels, short courses, or workshops. Includes formats such as industry & practice sessions, curated symposia, full 60-90 minute presentations of case studies, etc. It also encompasses any proposals that are for sessions “outside the box,” which are encouraged.
Multidisciplinary and diverse teams discuss, debate, or present knowledge on a specific topic or project.

Goal: To create open conversations and foster the exchange of knowledge.

Structure: 60-90 minutes (determined by Technical Program Committee). Panels should not exceed four speakers for a total of five participants including the moderator. May include an introduction, initial remarks from panelists, moderator questions, audience Q&A, and a summary.

Examples: Discussions on industry trends, expert insights, case study presentation.
A focused, instructor-led training session designed to teach specific skills on a single topic. These sessions are designed for efficient learning and offer practical takeaways — without the time commitment of a full program.

Goal: To deliver targeted education on a specialized subject, helping participants build or enhance specific skills. Ideal for professional development or deepening expertise in a particular area. Content is curated by the ASCE Continuing Education Department separately from other reviews to ensure high instructional value.

Structure: Short courses usually run for two to four hours and can only be scheduled exclusively on Monday, March 1, 2027, or Friday, March 5, 2027. Each session is led by one or two instructors and will require separate registration. ASCE Continuing Education will provide coordination.

Examples: Topics may include technical skills training (such as structural modeling or hydrology tools), regulatory and standards-based instruction, and real-world insights into design challenges, project management, innovation, and outcomes from the presenter’s perspective.
An interactive and collaborative session designed to engage participants in hands-on learning, problem-solving, or creative work around a particular topic or challenge. It fosters deep participation and often results in a tangible output.

Goal: To encourage active collaboration and knowledge exchange among attendees through activities, discussions, or group work. The focus is on solving specific problems or developing practical solutions in a facilitated environment.

Structure: Workshops usually last four to eight hours and can only be scheduled on Monday, March 1, 2027. Led by one to three subject matter experts, they will require separate registration. Coordinated by ASCE Continuing Education, workshops may follow a half-day or full-day format.

Examples: Workshop topics often focus on advanced technical skills and applied learning—such as scenario-based risk analysis, life-cycle analysis, geotechnical design procedures, structural condition assessment, soil characterization, or collaborative project management planning.

- Papers should be between 5 and 15 pages in length, including the abstract, text, photos, and graphics (but excluding references).
- Authors whose abstracts are selected for inclusion in the technical program will be required to register for ASCE2027 at the appropriate fee, attend the conference, and make their presentations in person.
- Authors who are not registered for the ASCE2027 event by the author registration deadline will have their related paper pulled from the proceedings.
- Proceedings paper submission is optional for this event.
- Once you submit your abstract, you may begin writing your final paper. Please do not wait to start writing your paper.
- A paper may not be published later as a journal article unless the paper has been substantially revised to include at least 50% new or additional material.

Calling all big thinkers! The infrastructure challenges of today require new kinds of solutions. YOUR solutions. So what's your big idea? ASCE2027 is your platform to showcase the next great infrastructure solution.
