Structural Forum is a full-day event, hosted by the Cal Poly SEAOC and AEI student chapter annually to connect structural engineering professionals and students. The event includes two sessions, occurring in the morning and evening. The day program will be held on Cal Poly's campus and will feature presentations from 3 distinguished individuals in the structural engineering field. This portion is free for all to attend. The evening program, held at the Alex Madonna Inn Expo Center, consists of a resume-free career fair followed by a three-course dinner banquet while listening to a keynote speaker. Structural Forum provides students a unique opportunity to interact with professionals in the structural engineering field and companies with the chance to promote their firms and recruit aspiring students.

Our theme this year, Built Different, seeks to show that engineers, both aspiring and in industry, are using new and innovative technologies to improve the way buildings are constructed. With thought-provoking talks on AI, modular/prefab construction, sustainability, resilience planning, and a focus on inclusion and leadership, this event shows what the future looks like: smarter, faster, more creative, and more inclusive. We are a new generation of engineers. We are adaptive, visionary, and unapologetically bold. We are Built Different, and the world we’re shaping will be, too.
