Windsor Essex - Chatham Kent - London - Lambton - Grand River - Georgian Bay - Brantford - Hamilton Burlington - Niagara



This will be our biggest chapter-led event of the year with high caliber keynote speakers, subject matter experts and soft skill trainers, plus professional networking among diverse engineers across Western Ontario. A year in the making, this learning event will be worth your while to attend and ask the experts. Limited seats!

Choose your topics to match your professional journey from a selection of 9 break-out sessions and professionally moderated panel discussions. Whether you are fascinated with emerging technology, or infrastructure, or you are more concerned about sustainability, we have a topic for that!
