NCEDA 2025 Fall Conference, presented by Alliance Consulting Engineers

October 20, 2025 - October 21, 2025

Description

We're Reconnecting in the Mountains... Asheville Awaits!

Join your NCEDA family as we return to the beautiful mountains of North Carolina for the 2025 Fall Conference!

We’re heading back to Asheville—a city known for its vibrant culture, scenic landscapes, and strong economic momentum—for a time of connection, collaboration, and continued learning. This year’s conference will offer fresh insights, meaningful discussions, and valuable updates on the progress Western North Carolina has made since last fall.

Whether you're a longtime member or new to the NCEDA community, the Fall Conference is a chance to engage with peers, exchange ideas, and be inspired by the innovation and resilience shaping our state’s economic future.

Make plans to join us in Asheville - we can’t wait to see you there!
