The Concrete Convention and Exposition, held in Anaheim, CA, USA, October 15-19, 2017, attracted a record number of attendees – 2,235 to be exact. Hosted by the Southern California Chapter of ACI, concrete industry professionals from around the world convened at the Disneyland Hotel to collaborate on concrete codes, specifications, and practices. Colleagues gathered for sessions, committee meetings, student competitions, networking and social events, and the ACI Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards. On the evening of Monday, October 16, 2017, the highest “Excellence” award was presented to, R·torso·C, located in Tokyo, Japan. Eleven additional global projects were recognized during the packed Gala event. "Members and the global concrete community continue to convene at ACI conventions to learn from each other, share innovations, celebrate accomplishments, and develop the Institute's technical content," stated Ron Burg, Executive Vice President, American Concrete Institute. "For anyone who hasn't yet attended one of our twice-annual conventions, I encourage you to consider joining us in 2018." Technical and educational sessions provided attendees with the latest research, case studies, best practices, and the opportunity to earn Professional Development Hours (PDHs). Additionally, ACI held over 300 committee meetings, an industry trade exhibition, and networking events, such as the Concrete Mixer where attendees and guests gathered on the Magic Kingdom Lawn for an evening of networking, entertainment, and great food. Other highlights of the convention were Contractors’ Day, International Forum, Concrete Sustainability Forum, and a joint seminar with ACI and the Japan Concrete Institute on preserving existing infrastructure.
