The 2026 Day of Training will be Thursday, March 19th at the Holiday Inn Springdale (Conference Center). In the past, the Day of Training has been the largest engineering conference in Northwest Arkansas, and we hope this year's attendance will break records again. Focused around four learning objectives: Body of Knowledge, Government/Regulatory, Local Affairs, and Professional Development, the day offers 7 PDFs over a variety of interesting and relevant topics at a low cost. An exhibit hall offers a diverse group of sponsors, ranging from suppliers, contractors, recruiters, and more. 

This year the professional development presentations will be followed by a networking event from 4:30- 6:30 p.m. in the Holiday Inn atrium. 

Presentations will be held in Salon ABC and Salon D in the Holiday Inn Springdale. Breakfast and lunch will be provided in the atrium. A more detailed schedule and venue map are provided below.
