Eastern Chapter - KSPE Stream Cleanup 2027 (23 Apr 2027)

Fri, 23 Apr 2027 20:30:00 GMT

What is the Stream Clean?

The Stream Clean is an event to pick up trash and debris from your assigned park and the areas adjacent to the stream. For the sake of safety, we ask that volunteers not get in the water itself, but that they pick up from the edge of the park and up to the areas adjacent to the stream that they can easily and safely clean.

Volunteers Should:

· Wear long pants, a long sleeve shirt and closed toe shoes (no sandals or Crocs). Sunglasses and a hat are also encouraged.

· Not overreach or climb down steep banks as no piece of trash is worth risking an injury.

· Not attempt to remove or haul heavy objects. Let me know about the object and where it is located and I'll pass it on to our Parks Department.

· Stay hydrated. Take a (reusable) bottle of water to drink.

Trash bags & gloves will be provided.

KSPE 2027 Double Conference - Joint Event with Missouri SPE (2 Jun 2027)

Wed, 02 Jun 2027 05:00:00 GMT

NSPECon27 (27 Jul 2027)

Tue, 27 Jul 2027 05:00:00 GMT

NSPECon27 Heads to Reno, Nevada

The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) today announced that NSPECon27, the Society's flagship annual conference, will be held July 27-30, 2027, in Reno, Nevada.

After exploring several potential host cities, NSPE’s Board of Directors selected Reno for its affordability, accessibility, and rapidly expanding engineering and technology sector—qualities that make the city a strong fit for the professional engineering community.

“Licensed professional engineers have a pivotal role in innovative engineering practice and harnessing emerging technologies that will move our society forward, while putting public health, safety, and welfare at the forefront,” says NSPE President Breck R. Washam, P.E., F.NSPE. “As a rising technical hub for innovation and sustainability, Reno is a great place to fuel inspiration and enhance the engagement and learning that will take place during NSPECon27.”

Why Reno?

Once known primarily for its gaming culture, Reno has spent the past decade transforming into one of the fastest-growing engineering and advanced manufacturing hubs in the country; a reinvention so significant that the U.S. Economic Development Administration has designated the region an official Tech Hub.

What Attendees Can Expect
Beyond the professional backdrop, Reno offers attendees an accessible, walkable conference experience with easy airport access, a growing downtown, and proximity to the Sierra Nevada mountains and Lake Tahoe for those looking to extend their stay.
NSPECon27 will retain the programming members count on, including the Leadership Summit, Women's Leadership Program, awards program, and dedicated networking events, alongside the technical and professional development sessions that anchor the conference each year.

Improved Timing for State Societies
NSPECon27 will also take place one week earlier than in past years, a change made directly in response to feedback from state society leaders who asked to be home in their own states in time for PE Day. The revised dates allow attendees to carry the energy and connections built at NSPECon27 directly into local PE Day engagement back home.

Registration and additional conference details, including the conference website, will be announced in the coming months.
