Mingle with Southern Nevada’s  public works officials at one of our most anticipated events of the year!

Each year, SMPS Las Vegas invites leaders from public agencies across Southern Nevada to share a brief 3- to 4-minute update on their jurisdiction. Attendees gain valuable insight into current projects, upcoming initiatives, and opportunities where A/E/C professionals can contribute.

This annual luncheon is a favorite and consistently sells out. Kick-off the New Year with meaningful connections and insightful updates. Don’t miss your chance to hear what’s in the pipeline for 2026 and beyond—and to network with the decision-makers shaping our region’s future.

Seating is first come, first served, so be sure to arrive early.  No refunds available for this event, transfers okay.
