Record Number of Learning Opportunities; New & Back-by-Popular-Demand Sessions…

Aggregates and asphalt industry professionals can take advantage of more than 120 learning opportunities at the 2018 World of Asphalt and AGG1 Academy & Expo to explore industry trends, technologies, solutions and best practices.

The co-located AGG1 Academy & Expo and World of Asphalt Show and Conference will be held March 6-8, 2018, at the George R. Brown Convention Centre in Houston. One registration includes access to both shows. Register through Feb. 16 for advance discounts on show admission and education programs.

A mix of new and back-by-popular-demand sessions covers areas including technology, regulatory, safety and health, environment, operations/production and management. The focused education complements the shows’ exhibits of the newest equipment, products and services from leading industry manufacturers and suppliers.

The sessions are brought to you by the People, Plants & Paving Conference from the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) and the AGG1 Academy from the National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association (NSSGA). For maximum flexibility, the conferences offer several ticket options, with no pre-selection of specific sessions required.

Additional learning options, presented by NSSGA, include two Quarry Tours and Basic Supervisory Training and Strategic Sales Training programs.

Developed and delivered by industry experts, the targeted sessions emphasize real-world strategies and offer actionable knowledge that both beginning and experienced professionals can use in their business operations and on the jobsite.

“Education has always been at our forefront to meet a real demand for quality asphalt industry education that is comprehensive and conveniently offered. Attendees can learn directly from the experts and interact with peers; it’s a great opportunity to invest in themselves to increase their knowledge and help their companies prosper,” said Kevin Kelly, president of Walsh & Kelly and World of Asphalt 2018 chair.

“Our employees are our most valuable resource, and the AGG1 Academy offers a tremendous value for aggregates producers to invest in that resource by boosting our workforce’s skills and knowledge,” said Joel Galassini, regional president for CEMEX and chair of NSSGA’s Meetings & Education Committee. “This is, hands down, the best opportunity for our industry to take advantage of education covering essentially every aspect of aggregates production.”
Houston Is ‘Open for Business.’

AGG1 and World of Asphalt show management continue to be in contact with Houston officials, who say that the city is open for business and ready to welcome attendees and exhibitors to the shows in March. Most of Houston’s attractions have reopened as of late Fall, and the George R. Brown Convention Centre and surrounding hotels sustained no damage and are fully functional.
