Michigan Infrastructure Conference
2020 CONFERENCE CANCELED
It has been a difficult time for all of us due to the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many day-to-day meetings and events have been canceled due to the restrictions imposed by Governor Whitmer in order to protect the public health and reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
The Michigan Infrastructure Conference planning team from ACEC & ASCE has been meeting virtually to digest new information and react accordingly. Based on the current situation, we have decided to cancel the conference planned for May 12, 2020 at the Radisson in Kalamazoo. We discussed the possibility of rescheduling the event in the fall, but the fall months are becoming very congested with postponed events, and budgets at the state, local and private levels are becoming strained due to a stressed economy.
We plan to schedule the Michigan Infrastructure Conference for the spring of 2021 in Kalamazoo, and will release the date as soon as it’s available. We will also work with the 2020 presenters with the goal of offering the presentations for this year as webinars in lieu of the in-person presentations.
Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding. We look forward to the day when we can once again assemble as a group to network and share knowledge as we rebuild Michigan’s infrastructure.
2019 CONFERENCE RECAP:
The 2019 Michigan Infrastructure Conference, jointly hosted by the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Michigan and the Michigan Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), was held on Thursday, May 16 at the Inn at St. Johns in Plymouth.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer addressed the group regarding recent developments in transportation and water funding as she presses forward to “Fix the Damn Roads.” Steve Hall provided an update on ACEC National legislative efforts. A panel of industry professionals, moderated by Daniel G. Fredendall, PE, OHM Advisors, shared new infrastructure policy and process initiatives.
Nine educational breakout sessions were offered on a variety of infrastructure topics and exhibitors were on site to provide information on the products and services they provide to the engineering industry.
ACEC/Michigan celebrated the accomplishments of several individuals who have made significant contributions through their leadership on the Board of Directors or as a committee chair, and pinned our incoming 2019-2020 President, Steven Gravlin, PE, PS, Michael Baker International.
