The tough really do go to the World of Concrete, and they came rolling into Las Vegas today. The 2010 World of Concrete (WOC) will showcase 1500 indoor/outdoor exhibitors in more than a half-million gross square feet of exhibit space, not to mention some of the toughest attendees, products and equipment you’ll ever find under one roof, aside from a Monster Truck rally. Like most tradeshows, you’ll also find demonstrations, competitions and education.
One of the many reasons this show is so highly regarded is because of the education sessions offered. They offer over 100 skill-building seminars, with 90-minute and three-hour sessions including 13 targeted tracks such as Leadership & Management, Technology for Construction, Green Building, Safety & Risk Management, Finance & Money Matters and more.
This year you can listen to IMRE partner and executive vice president Shawn Draper and IMRE sustainability director Christine Costa, aka Green Intel, speak on Thursday at 1:30PM. Their green building seminar is titled “Understanding Authentic Green Messaging: Products and Practices for the Concrete Industry.”
If you’re unable to attend, follow the show on Twitter. The official WOC feed is providing updates and news. You can also find updates from attendees and exhibitors if you search for #worldofconcrete.
We received a few pictures today from the show. It appears that early traffic is encouraging and apparently the weather is nice. Clouds loomed over the 2010 International Builders’ Show. If this is a sign, perhaps there are better things in store for the commercial construction industry. If you’re going to make it to Las Vegas, share with us the trends you observed and the insight you gathered.
