Join us in Pierre for Two Days of

Fall PDH Conference Events 

Including an all-new Transportation Track planned in coordination with the SDDOT

We look forward to seeing you on October 29th and 30th, 2025!

The 2025 Fall Professional Development Hour (PDH) Conference will be equal parts information and learning coupled with relationship building and social opportunities. You won’t want to miss the tours on Wednesday, with the opportunity to attend not one, but two tours in a variety of subject areas. And the Wednesday Social will provide an excellent setting to get to know new colleagues, catch up with old friends, and visit with exhibitors.

This year’s sessions on Thursday will feature a pilot Transportation Track, planned in coordination with the SDDOT, in addition to an excellent blend of sessions you are used to seeing at this conference. Similar to the SDES Annual Conference, you’ll have the chance to choose the sessions that advance your professional and engineering skills!
