Beyond Disruption: Pioneering a New Path for the Engineering Community
In-Person Summit – November 5-6, 2025, Austin, TX
Uncertainty and rapid change—driven by government actions, advances in artificial intelligence, declining trust in institutions, and economic volatility—are redefining the world the engineering community serves in 2025. Old assumptions and routines no longer hold. The pressures on our profession have pushed us past familiar boundaries, and there is no returning to business as usual.
Now is the time for the engineering community to take a clear-eyed look at today’s realities and take the lead in forging a new path.
Engineering Change Lab – USA’s (ECL) next summit will explore the challenges and disruptions of this changing landscape and imagine a new vision and trajectory for the engineering community.
