Welcome to the Pacific Conference on Earthquake Engineering 2027

Welcome to the Pacific Conference on Earthquake Engineering

The organising committee warmly invites researchers, practitioners, industry partners, policy makers, and emerging professionals from across the Pacific region and beyond to join us for the Pacific Conference on Earthquake Engineering (PCEE), to be held at Te Pae Christchurch, New Zealand, 16-18 February 2027.

First held in Wellington in 1975 as the South Pacific Regional Conference on Earthquake Engineering, PCEE has since been hosted in cities including Wairakei, Auckland, Melbourne, Christchurch, Singapore, Sydney, and Vancouver. Over five decades, PCEE has grown into a major forum for sharing advances in earthquake engineering, bringing together researchers and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines to exchange knowledge, strengthen collaboration, and support safer, more resilient communities across the Pacific Rim.

PCEE 2027 continues this tradition by providing a platform for state-of-the-art developments in the science, engineering, policy, and practice of earthquake resilience across the Ring of Fire. The conference will explore how our profession can respond to evolving seismic risk, climate and sustainability challenges, advances in technology, and the needs of communities, infrastructure, and the built environment.
