12th National Conference on Earthquake Engineering

  • Meeting Theme: Reimagining Risk and Resilience
  • Meeting Location: Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah
  • Meeting Dates: June 27 - July 1, 2022
  • Meeting Summary:

    The 12th National Conference on Earthquake Engineering (12NCE) was a fantastic week filled with 94 sessions, 1 workshop, 4 special events, 12 committee and 3 chapter meetings, and 6 tours. Over 1200 people participated in the conference, including more than 300 undergraduate students in the Seismic Design Competition. A particularly bright spot was the record rate of participation by younger members and graduate students, who made up more than a third of the conference attendees.

    Opening plenary speakers included Utah Governor Spencer J. Cox, Utah State Representatives V. Lowry Snow and Clare Collard, and Utah Seismic Safety Commission members Jessica Chappell and Robert Grow. Ken Elwood delivered the 2022 Distinguished Lecture and David Wald gave the 2022 Joyner Lecture. Of the 94 sessions, 53 were technical sessions, 35 were special sessions, and 2 were sponsored special sessions. 12NCEE also featured special events like the Meet the Leaders networking session and an engaging panel exploring the role of diversity, equity, and inclusion issues in earthquake risk mitigation and engineering education.
