If you love architecture, engineering, or just the sheer awe of great bridges, you’ll love the International Bridge Conference hosted by the Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania at the Pittsburgh Convention Center.
Pittsburgh, after all, is the City of Bridges — there’s no better place to gather the world’s top civil engineers, designers, and visionaries.
Expect:
- In-depth technical sessions on the newest bridge technologies and materials.
- Project showcases of some of the most jaw-dropping bridges worldwide.
- Networking events that might just inspire your next major project.
Local Tip for Bridge Lovers: Don’t miss a walk across the Roberto Clemente Bridge — one of Pittsburgh’s most beautiful pedestrian bridges, especially at sunset.
Packing Essentials: Business cards, a portable phone charger (because the exhibit hall is huge), and a weatherproof jacket — Pittsburgh loves surprise rain showers.
Where to stay: After a day filled with groundbreaking ideas and bridge admiration, unwind at Rivers and Steel City Homes. Spacious, affordable, and minutes from the Convention Center, it’s your perfect home base for both work and play. 🏗️🏡
