Event Date: Thursday, April 16, 2026

 

SEAOI is pleased to announce the Call for Abstracts for the 2026 SEAOI Super Symposium, a newly enhanced, one-day event featuring two separate education tracks—Bridges and Buildings. Held on April 16, this expanded program brings together the very best of our long-running Bridge Symposium and Structures Symposium while preserving the distinct technical focus each audience values.

 

We invite engineers, researchers, educators, and industry professionals to submit abstracts that showcase innovation, lessons learned, technical developments, design challenges, and exemplary projects within either the Bridge Track or the Building Track.

 

Why We’re Combining These Events

By hosting both tracks on the same day, SEAOI is creating a single, elevated experience that reflects how today’s engineering community collaborates and advances together. The combined format allows us to:

  • Maintain dedicated technical depth for both bridge and building specialists
  • Expand opportunities for networking by bringing practitioners from both disciplines together during breaks, lunch, and exhibitor interactions
  • Streamline scheduling by offering a high-value, one-day option that is easier for firms to support
  • Strengthen the visibility and impact of all presenters through the broader reach of a unified event

 

This new structure honors the uniqueness of each discipline while amplifying the professional community that connects them.

 

A Special Invitation to Vendors & Industry Partners

With two distinct tracks and a unified attendee base, the Super Symposium will draw one of SEAOI’s largest and most diverse audiences—including bridge and building engineers, public agencies, researchers, contractors, and emerging professionals.

 

For vendors and industry partners, this is an unparalleled opportunity to:

  • Showcase products and services to specialists in both disciplines
  • Engage directly with decision-makers and project influencers
  • Boost brand visibility at SEAOI’s premier technical event of the year
  • Build new relationships across the full spectrum of structural engineering practice

 

Event registration, sponsorship and exhibitor details will be available soon.
