CI Summit 2025: Celebrating 25 Years of Innovation in Construction

On its 25th anniversary, ASCE Construction Institute hosts the major Construction Institute (CI) Summit 2025 event. Fifteen hundred builders and infrastructure leaders from different sectors will gather at The Westin South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California from February 27 to March 1, 2025, to examine how construction has advanced since its inception.

The CI Summit 2025 offers attendees more than educational content because it allows them to build relationships through its technical programs, interactive talks, and planned tours before sessions start. The summit delivers game-changing content for industry experts through its special focus on sustainability, new technology use, and building strong systems.

Key Themes and Technical Program

The CI Summit 2025 will have specialized presentations that explain important transformations occurring in construction today. Participants will see technical presentations about these main subjects at the event.

Risk Management and Project Delivery: The approach enhances construction project efficiency and controls potential issues during large infrastructure development.

Sustainability in Construction: Focus on finding sustainable energy-saving building techniques and heavy equipment for infrastructure projects.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation: The integration of AI-powered tools in heavy equipment machinery for predictive maintenance, workforce management, and project optimization.

Strong Infrastructure: Engineers now create structures that can resist environmental dangers through their new inventive techniques.

Future of Construction: The construction sector evolves through digital technology robotics and modern building materials to create next-generation construction projects.

One of the key highlights is a special plenary session on “Building Sustainable, Smart, and Resilient Port Infrastructure,” featuring Darrin Lambrigger, Director of Construction Management at the Port of Long Beach. Additionally, an expert roundtable discussion titled “What Will the Next 25 (perhaps 50) Years Look Like for Energy Use in the Built Environment?” will include industry leaders such as Mehmet Ozbek (Colorado State University), Paul Lee (U.S. Department of Energy), and Caroline Clevenger (University of Colorado Denver).

Through these meetings, participants will receive useful strategies to make construction work more efficient with less waste while building sustainable practices in today’s worldwide business challenges.

Pre-Conference Technical Tour: A Firsthand Look at Port Infrastructure

The Port of Long Beach provides summit participants with a special pre-conference visit to see operations at their busiest ports in the United States. Visitors gain access to see how the port executes high-performance projects and operates infrastructure while using sustainable methods at scale.

The Port of Long Beach leads the industry by implementing advanced technologies to decrease emissions and boost operational performance. People learning directly from these examples will receive valuable information.

1. The port uses automated cargo lifting equipment and automated ship management systems.
2. Sustainable construction efforts in port expansions
3. The management of dangers of maritime infrastructure, effective risk control plus proper handling of its logistical needs.

Professionals involved in transportation and infrastructure development should not miss this tour because it shows them how to do their jobs at the highest engineering level with the help of real-world examples.

Networking Opportunities: Connecting Industry Leaders

At CI Summit 2025 attendees gain exceptional networking chances besides professional development.

1. Engage with influential business executives and corporate heads
2. Participate with others to find better ways to solve sector-wide problems
