Resilient City Expo 2025

Resilient City Expo takes place on November 5th & 6th, 2025, at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, co-located with Disasters Expo USA. This two-day event is dedicated to the design, delivery, and continuous advancement of urban systems that can withstand disruption, absorb stress, and adapt to long-term challenges.

As cities worldwide contend with mounting pressures, from climate volatility and ageing infrastructure to population density and supply chain vulnerability, resilience is no longer a long-term goal. It’s an immediate imperative. Resilient City Expo brings together the public and private sector leadership driving this work forward, offering a platform for those actively embedding resilience into planning, policy, construction, engineering, operations, and funding strategies.

The event features a focused exhibition of cutting-edge technologies, alongside a curated seminar program led by experts from across infrastructure, government, urban planning, and technology. The agenda has been built to address the operational realities and strategic decisions facing cities now, from how to secure lifeline infrastructure and utilities, to designing policy frameworks that enable long-term, system-wide resilience.

Set in Houston, a city that has become a reference point in both urban risk and recovery, Resilient City Expo provides a vital space for meaningful exchange between innovators, implementers, and decision-makers. It’s where serious conversations are had, tested solutions are shared, and partnerships are formed around the urgent need to make cities stronger, smarter, and more capable of withstanding what’s next.
