The SEAOI Awards Celebration is the highlight of our program year! We invite you to join us for the Happiest of All Hours at Burning Bush Brewery's River Room  to celebrate the Excellence in Structural Engineering Awards winners, the SEAOI Special Awards winners, and  to see our friends and colleagues.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

A lot of engineers! We will celebrate all of the award winners, reconnect with colleagues and friends, and enjoy tasty beverages, TACOS from Big Star Taco Truck, and cupcakes from Molly's Cupcakes. We will also have the opportunity to tour the brewery.  

WHAT IS DIFFERENT FROM LAST YEAR?

We listened to your feedback from last year!   We're keeping what you loved (a more casual venue with plenty of time for socializing, tacos, and access to outdoor space) and refocusing on the importance of the event (excellent sound system, more time for EISE and Special Awards winners to be recognized, and more seating).

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

We want you to be comfortable! Business casual is a good mid-point for what to wear, but really, wear whatever you like! 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

We want to see everyone here! EISE Finalists, SEAOI Members, friends, and family are certainly encouraged to attend. And you're not locked into specific times, either. You can stop by for one drink and a taco, or stay for the duration of the event. 

We would love to see you at the Awards Celebration, and we hope you can join us!
