World of Asphalt and World of Aggregates to co-locate
THE next World of Asphalt show and conference is to be co-located with the inaugural World of Aggregates (WAGG) forum and exposition, with the two events being held from 9–12 March 2009 in Orlando, Florida.
The co-location is the result of partnering efforts between the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), which co-owns World of Asphalt, and the National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association (NSSGA), which owns World of Aggregates, aimed at benefiting attendees and exhibitors of both events.
The organizers say the co-located shows will offer access to more education programs, a broader array of exhibiting companies and products, and increased opportunities for industry networking.
World of Asphalt features exhibits of the latest product technologies and innovations plus extensive industry-specific education. The event is targeted at a broad range of asphalt, highway maintenance and traffic safety industry professionals from companies around the world.
NSSGA operates an extensive program of educational conferences and workshops, and its intention is to combine these into a central location through World of Aggregates, which will also include exhibits of the latest aggregates-related equipment, products and services.
‘The industry segments of NSSGA and World of Aggregates complement those of NAPA and World of Asphalt, and we share a focus on industry education, so the co-location is a natural fit,’ commented Rick Feltes, a past chairman for NSSGA and chairman of the WAGG management committee.
