The Pipelines Conference's Emerging Leaders Program is a great chance for civil engineering students, younger Institute members, and utility engineers of all ages to position themselves at the head of the industry.

The program will be held on August 10, 2025, and will proceed as follows:

Welcome Session

This opening session will feature presentations on UESI Institute topics for the Younger Member/Student attendees. Leaders from each of the UESI divisions will provide overviews and highlight opportunities for involvement within the Institute, along with answering questions.  

Pipelines Research Symposium

Presenters will host technical talks before attendees break into small groups to discuss how to implement the latest pipeline technologies, processes, and techniques into everyday engineering practice. Click here for more information.

Younger Member Engagement Committee Meeting

The annual face-to-face meeting of the Younger Member Engagement Committee gives new conference attendees the opportunity to meet UESI and ASCE leaders and learn more about activities in the institute. Task Groups include Conference Opportunities, Outreach and Networking, and Competition. New and interested members are always welcome at YMEC meetings.   

Younger Member Networking Reception

A casual networking mixer where students and young members can connect with UESI leaders, organizational members and industry partners.
