“ACI’s global reach is on display throughout the 24 Hours of Concrete Knowledge Conference,” said Frederick H.

This is a Can’t-Miss event!”

“Positive proof that ACI is always advancing,” said Michael J. Paul, ACI President. “This year’s 24 Hours of Concrete Knowledge promises to be our best one yet as experts from around the world share their insights about the most abundant manufactured material on earth.”
