Fall Asphalt Conference & Expo — Be There Or Be Square!

The VAA Fall Asphalt Conference and Expo is almost here. Have you registered to attend? This year’s conference will be bigger than ever with Monday Keynote Speaker Harold Mullen of the Texas Asphalt Pavement Association, Secretary Aubrey L. Layne, Jr. and VDOT Commissioner Charlie Kilpatrick speaking, just to name a few. The addition of technical breakout sessions on Tuesday morning will now allow time for great content like the Prince William County Local Assistance Program (Ricardo Canizales – PWDOT Director), the evolution of Balanced Mix Designs by Dr. Shane Buchanan (Oldcastle Materials), the status of mix performance testing by Dr. Randy West (NCAT) or the procedure to design structural porous pavements by Dr. Chuck Schwartz (University of Maryland) – just to name a few. With the diversity of topics, everyone should find a session that will peak their interest and further their knowledge.

 

To complement the conference, the Asphalt Expo will have a variety of vendors exhibiting. Companies attending range from equipment manufacturers and suppliers to asphalt mixtures additives, such as fibers and rejuvenators. Many of the topics discussed in the conference can be seen in the expo hall. Stop by the booths to learn more about each company’s goods and services. If you have not done so, register today by calling Caroline at 804.288.3169. Although the online registration is closed, VAA may still be able to register you by phone. We hope to see you at the Marriott Downtown on October 2 and 3.
