What Your Conference Week Looks Like

Four days. One place. The best dam community. 

Your week is built to move between big-picture insight and real-world application. Start with pre-conference workshops and campfire discussions, then kick off the week at the Welcome Reception. From there, join main stage sessions and dive into technical tracks.

Explore the exhibit hall, with engagement prizes waiting during Tuesday’s Social Hour, and carry those conversations beyond the room into exploring Austin and the Conference Wrap Party celebration offsite.

Not ready to be done? Extend your experience with Thursday workshops or the Field Tour (a full-day, behind-the-scenes look at LCRA’s Buchanan Dam and Mansfield Dam). 

Across the week: 

• Workshops, committee meetings, and plenary sessions shaping the profession
• Technical tracks addressing today’s dam safety challenges
• Campfire sessions for open, peer-driven discussion
• Continuous exhibit hall access woven into the week through meals and breaks
• Networking across receptions, the Young Professionals Social, and the Wrap Party
• Extend your experience with Thursday workshops or the Field Tour at Buchanan and Mansfield Dams
