Information Technology Forum

Two days of peer-to-peer interaction and engagement!

ACEC's Information Technology Forum brings together professionals from engineering firms for two days of open discussion and roundtables where they share best practices, explore problems and solutions, and gain valuable insights into industry trends.

Network with professionals in the A/E space

Attendees are connected to a network of their peers to share best practices, discuss emerging trends, and problem-solving in the workplace.

Roundtable Discussions

The IT Forum agenda is built around interactive roundtables so attendees can dive deeper into session topics and share personal challenges and triumphs in their work.

Access to the Forums online communities

ACEC National members of engineering firms can join online communities and continue receiving valuable insight with their peers year-round.

“The forum always provides the opportunity to understand successes, failures, and common hurdles in the industry, which is beneficial in preventing us from reinventing the wheel. The chance to build vendor relations and stay ahead of the game has allowed me to consistently walk away with new ideas and provide insights to others, contributing to a community of sharing.“

"The IT Forum has been instrumental to my career. The forum is more than a place to find out what others are up to. It's a community of friends that are eager to share and help each other. Through these friendships it has shaped me as a professional and continues to help me navigate our firm through the ever-evolving technology landscape. If you are a new technology leader in the industry, I can't recommend this community enough."

I deeply value the diverse range of opinions and insights that emerge during our gatherings. The relationships I have forged not only enrich my professional life but have also become personal friendships that continue to enhance my life in meaningful ways. This forum is more than a place to meet; it is a vibrant community that actively fosters both professional growth and personal connections."
