MDOT-ACEC Partnering Workshop

The 2025 MDOT-ACEC Partnering Workshop was held on February 7 at the Lansing Center, following a leadership reception the evening of February 6. With a record 850 participants this year, this annual event continues to grow.

Each year this event brings together transportation professionals from across the state to share the latest information, technology, and processes being used to design and build Michigan's transportation system.

MDOT Director Brad Wieferich kicked off the event, 39 unique educational breakout sessions were offered, and the networking ice cream social was a hit!

The keynote speaker was Kelly Swanson, an award-winning storyteller, comedian, and motivational speaker, renowned for her blend of humor and heartfelt storytelling. Kelly teaches individuals and businesses the art of strategic storytelling to connect, inspire, and influence.

Kelly's closing video, "The Bridge You Build . . . a Tribute to ACEC" is available for viewing on YouTube.
