SoCal Public Works Expo

Carson Community Center

Welcome to the APWA SoCal Public Works Expo

The APWA Southern California Public Works Expo is the region’s premier gathering for public works professionals, industry partners, and decision-makers dedicated to building, maintaining, and operating the infrastructure that keeps our communities moving. This two-day, high-energy expo brings together innovation, education, and connection—creating a space where ideas are exchanged, challenges are addressed, and the future of public works takes shape.

Attendees will experience a vibrant exhibit hall featuring leading vendors, consultants, and solution providers showcasing the latest tools, technologies, and services supporting public works operations. Throughout both days, dynamic industry speakers and engaging presentations will deliver timely insights on emerging trends, best practices, and real-world solutions across transportation, water, utilities, facilities, and public services.

Designed for public works directors, managers, supervisors, engineers, maintenance professionals, operators, technicians, and industry partners, this year’s expanded two-day format allows for deeper learning and more meaningful collaboration. Day Two places a special focus on Operations and Maintenance, with practical sessions tailored to the professionals responsible for keeping systems running safely, efficiently, and reliably. In addition, the Watchbook Seminar will be conducted during a dedicated three-hour session on Day Two, offering valuable training on traffic control in public works.

Whether you’re responsible for planning, managing, maintaining, or supporting public infrastructure, the APWA SoCal Public Works Expo is your opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired—while strengthening the public works community that serves Southern California every day.
