NABIE is excited to welcome you to NABIE 2025 in sunny San Diego!  We have a great conference with excellent speakers planned that include presentations from the National Fire Protection Agency, Hilti, Intertek and more.  We are also thrilled to have Julia Harrod, President-Elect of NSPE as our honored guest.

And what would a NABIE conference be without a fascinating and entertaining presentation by Ed Fronapfel?  Ed will be delivering another blockbuster presentation on March 15th.  We look forward to seeing everyone there.

We are thrilled to present our new NABIE format this year in San Diego.  New this year is our CSR project with San Diego Habitat for Humanity build on Friday, March 14th. 

Also new this year, members from Criterium Engineers will be joining NABIE at our annual conference and we are looking forward to welcoming them in San Diego.  This year, our closing dinner will be a casual affair on the beach at Paradise Point-  our hotel.  Indulge in fresh seafood, network with fellow engineers and revel in San Diego's lovely sunsets.

Also, as Paradise Point is on an island, we have bundled the hotel rates for your stay into the conference price.
