We’d love for you to be part of the 2027 SMPS Pacific Regional Conference (PRC) in Irvine, California — an annual gathering of marketing and business development professionals from across the architecture, engineering, and construction (A/E/C) industry in the Western United States.

We want PRC 2027 to reflect that same energy — practical, ambitious, and grounded in the real work our industry does every day.
Speaking sessions at PRC are organized into the following five (5) educational tracks:
