EISE Awards Celebration 2025

The SEAOI Awards Celebration is the highlight of our program year! We invite you to join us for the Happiest of All Hours at Burning Bush Brewery's River Room  to celebrate the Excellence in Structural Engineering Awards winners, the SEAOI Special Awards winners, and to see our friends and colleagues.

We will celebrate all of the Excellence in Structural Engineering and SEAOI Special award winners, reconnect with colleagues and friends, and enjoy tasty beverages, 

DRESS CODE

We want you to be comfortable! Business casual is a good mid-point for what to wear, but really, wear whatever you like! 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

We want to see everyone here! EISE Finalists, SEAOI Members, friends, and family are certainly encouraged to attend. And you're not locked into specific times, either. You can stop by for one drink and a bite, or stay for the duration of the event. 

We would love to see you at the Awards Celebration, and we hope you can join us!
