ACI is pleased to offer continuing education credits for attendance at the sessions in Reno, approved by AIA. To see the entire schedule of sessions, visit the Convention Schedule page. Additionally, ACI conventions offer numerous networking events where you can expect to meet with many of the industry’s top engineers, architects, contractors, educators, manufacturers, and material representatives from around the world. It is the goal to provide each and every attendee with a place to meet with their peers and grow in the industry. Networking events such as the Women in ACI Reception, Faculty Network Reception, and Opening Reception provide such forums for attendees to be always advancing. For the seventh time, ACI will feature the Concrete Sustainability Forum in Washington, DC. The Concrete Sustainability Forum will update attendees on the evolving landscape of concrete sustainability and structural resilience. Examples of new sustainable concrete technologies from around the globe will be highlighted. An overview of current code activities from the American Concrete Institute, Fédération Internationale du Béton, and other international concrete organizations will be presented. The Forum will include a panel discussion that will challenge speakers and attendees to identify opportunities to integrate sustainable and resilient theories into plans, projects, and international codes. A luncheon will be held featuring a keynote presentation by a prominent industry leader. Following the lunch, participants will be taken to the U.S. National Building Museum for docent- and curator-led tours of “Designing for Disaster” exhibit. Examine how we assess risks from natural hazards and how we can create policies, plans, and designs yielding safer, more disaster-resilient communities. Tours will run every 30 minutes on the hour and half hour and busses will be available to take participants to the museum and back to the hotel. An added benefit at the ACI convention is the industry tradeshow, where companies from across the country come to showcase their products and services. Attendees may walk the tradeshow floor during the three full days of the show, learning about the latest in concrete technologies, systems, and applications. Exhibitors enjoy the interaction with attendees, as they are their target market, as specifiers, contractors and decision makers in the field.
