Welcome to the 15th Americas Conference on Wind Engineering to be held in St. Louis, Missouri!
The Americas Conference on Wind Engineering (ACWE) stands as a preeminent international gathering for the wind engineering community. With a great honor, the Center for Hazard Mitigation and Community Resilience (HMCR) at Missouri University of Science and Technology is proud to host the 15th ACWE in St. Louis, Missouri.
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.
