Borderland Connect 2026 is the ONLY event of its kind in El Paso, a community-driven networking and industry event dedicated to strengthening opportunities and building the future of Borderland infrastructure.
Following the success of last year’s event, Borderland Connect is set to be even bigger and more impactful. This year we are significantly expanding our outreach with increased social media promotion, targeted advertising, and stronger community engagement, ensuring greater visibility and participation from across the region.
In addition, our new location at San Jacinto Plaza places the event in one of the most active and recognizable areas in Downtown El Paso, creating substantially higher foot traffic and unmatched exposure for participating organizations. Being in the heart of the city will allow the event to reach not only industry professionals but also the broader community.
This FREE event, open to the entire community, will bring together contractors, industry professionals, organizations, and leaders committed to the continued growth of our region.
One of the most important aspects of Borderland Connect is our commitment to supporting and retaining local talent in El Paso. We are excited to welcome junior and senior students from local ISD trade programs, giving them the opportunity to connect with industry professionals, explore career paths, and see firsthand the opportunities available within our region’s growing infrastructure and skilled trades industries.
Borderland Connect is designed to create meaningful connections between businesses, skilled trades, and the next generation of professionals who will help build and maintain the future of our region.
