Upcoming Events

Greetings:

On behalf of the Louisiana Chapter of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and the New Orleans Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Louisiana Civil Engineering Conference & Show (LCEC&S) invites you to participate as a speaker. The conference committee is in the process of establishing the technical program for the fall conference which will be held on September 22-23, 2010, at the Pontchartrain Center in Kenner. Topics may include technical papers or projects related to general civil, structural, construction, hydraulics, geotechnical, environmental, transportation, materials, surveying, building codes, project management, liability, specifications, contracts, and student related topics such as professional registration. Your participation as a speaker would be greatly appreciated.

Should you be interested in presenting at this year’s conference, please complete the Speaker Information Form attached and return it to the address below or submit via email.  Deadline to submit this form is June 30, 2010 and notification of acceptance will be issued by August 15, 2010. Each session of the conference will contain a number of one-hour slots in which the speaker should talk for 45-50 minutes (including questions) and the remaining time serves as transition time for the next session.  Speakers will receive complimentary registration and meals for the day on which they make presentations at the conference.

If you do not have a presentation but would like to participate, we are also looking for volunteers to be moderators for the sessions.  The duties of the moderators will be to provide a brief introduction of the speaker at the beginning of each presentation, to regulate the question and answer sessions, and to make sure the schedule is adhered to.  Each moderator will be assigned a specific room for the entire morning or afternoon session. Moderators will also receive complimentary registration for the day on which they serve at the conference.  If you are interested in serving as a moderator, please send your contact information to the address/email given below.

The speaker invitation forms can be downloaded here.
