Hello, everyone! ESW HQ and the University of Akron ESW chapter are excited to welcome you to ESWcon2025 in Akron, Ohio!

This year’s theme is Designing Our Sustainable Future:

Circularity, Community, and Creativity. Over the course of the conference, we will focus on the importance of centering these “3 C’s” in engineering and sustainable design to build a more resilient world. 🌎

Our team has invited speakers and prepared workshops centered on circularity, community, and creativity, as well as critical skills needed for green careers. This website will serve as your ESWcon2025 agenda as well as a workbook if you’d like to take notes throughout the conference.

To create your own workbook please open the link and select the duplicate function in the top right hand corner.

Please note that once you duplicate the Workbook you will need to reference the original link for any updates.
