Abstract Submissions Have Now Closed
The ISI Annual Conference is the preeminent event for AEC industry professionals committed to fostering sustainable, equitable, and resilient civil infrastructure. Last year, we welcomed a record-breaking 1,800 participants from around the world to this two-day virtual event to engage and explore new ideas about how infrastructure can better serve our communities.
This year, we will continue to explore important and emerging issues impacting the planning, design, and delivery of civil infrastructure. The conference offers a platform for ISI’s network of practitioners, government agencies, companies, educational institutions, and partner organizations to share insights on recent developments, real-world case studies, tangible project outcomes, and innovative solutions, while using the Envision framework as a guide on the path to sustainable infrastructure.
Members of ISI’s community were invited to share their knowledge of sustainability and the application of the Envision framework – including challenges, successes, and lessons learned – by submitting an abstract for one of our virtual presentations at this year’s conference.
The abstract submission period has now closed and abstracts are being reviewed.
