The ACI Foundation is pleased to announce the opening of registration for the much-anticipated 2025 Concrete Innovation Forum, formerly known as the Technology Forum. Scheduled from August 12-14, 2025, at the modern and inspirational Hotel Clio, centrally located in Denver, Colorado, this event is a pivotal gathering for inventors, early adopters and other professionals within the concrete industry. This year’s forum invites you to immerse yourself in the stories of those who have invented and launched a new product, method or design. Come learn about the best practices to bring something new to the concrete market. Speakers will share the latest advancements, emerging technologies, and innovative products shaping the future of concrete. The event is limited to 100 attendees to allow a unique platform for direct engagement between thought leaders, innovators, executive leadership, and regulatory bodies and forum attendees. Organized by the ACI Foundation’s Concrete Innovation Council (CIC), the forum is designed to foster education and networking. Concrete professionals eager to enhance their knowledge have ample opportunities to expand their professional networks. The CIC strives to collaborate with the broader concrete community, encouraging the development and support of new and existing technologies. The 2025 agenda will highlight case studies on innovative structural designs; technology showcases of new materials, and the roles of national agencies in using and championing innovations. Discussions on best practices for design phase collaboration; tools to lower embodied carbon in concrete will take place as well as a series of Technology Snapshot presentations on innovations and opportunities to use non-metallics in concrete. Attendees will gain insights from leading experts through enlightening case studies and discussions on available standards for new materials. We are also thrilled to welcome back Luna Lu, the esteemed Vice President of the Office of Industry Partnerships at Purdue University. Professor Lu, known for her pioneering work with the REBEL concrete strength sensing system, will share her experiences and insights on transitioning from invention to innovation. Her participation is a testament to the forum’s commitment to bringing renowned expertise to the forefront. Are you eager to learn from a leader in concrete innovation? By attending, you will have the opportunity to connect with a diverse array of professionals, including material suppliers, architects, engineers, contractors, academics, executives, and regulatory agency representatives. This is your chance to forge strategic relationships and broaden your professional horizons.
