Engineers Open Doors
'Opening Doors to Community'
2025 Theme
This year’s theme — Opening Doors to Community — highlights a growing focus on connection, inclusion, and social impact within the engineering community. It speaks to the ways we build stronger relationships with the communities around us, and how the engineering profession continues to open pathways to meaningful participation, collaboration, and change. In 2025, we celebrate the leadership, innovation, and shared efforts that open doors to new opportunities, diverse voices, and lasting impact. This theme will be reflected throughout the Professional Development Conference and the Engineering Excellence Gala.
