The Americas Conference on Wind Engineering (ACWE) is an IAWE (International Association of Wind Engineering) Regional Conference for the Americas Region. It stands as a preeminent
international gathering for the wind engineering community, convened by American Association of Wind Engineering (AAWE). With a great honor, Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) is proud to host the 15th ACWE in St. Louis, MO. Building on the success of previous conferences, we expand the agenda to promote advanced research and practice to better confront the grand challenges of wind hazards under changing climate, which includes the improvement of building codes for diverse wind conditions. The chair extends her heartfelt welcome to you all, inviting you to come to establish connections, exchange insights, and transform challenges into opportunities together, ultimately fostering the growth of the wind engineering community.
