This year, because of the global importance of climate change, each participating chapter and partner was asked to make one of their presentations on carbon-neutral concrete and sustainability in the concrete industry. The conference will begin on July 12, 2022, at 2:00 PM Detroit (Eastern Daylight Time) and will end 24 hours later on July 13, 2022, at 2:00 PM Detroit (Eastern Daylight Time).
