The Engineers' Society of Western Pennsylvania (or ESWP) is a non-profit membership professional association based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The society was founded in 1880 to "promote social, technical, and business interaction in Western Pennsylvania."[1]
Among other activities, the ESWP is the sponsor of the International Water Conference (IWC) annually since 1940;[2] the International Bridge Conference (IBC) annually since 1983;[3] and is a co-sponsor of the Pennsylvania Brownfields Conference (formerly named the Industrial Site Recycling Conference).
