World of Concrete: This year, the innovations in concrete construction will be seen in Las Vegas and Sao Paulo

World of Concrete Pavilion at Construction Expo 2016 will share technology and practices between North and South America

 From February 2nd to 5th, the global market of the concrete construction will be gathered at World of Concrete 2016, in Las Vegas, which for more than 40 years has been the annual exhibition and education provider for innovation in concrete construction. The exhibition has become an international influence for concrete use on four continents.

World of Concrete is different from other events with a focus on combining education, training, and exhibits. It’s organized as the industry’s largest idea platform for sharing practices. At each event, enlists the technical support of the leading local concrete and technical associations. This leadership provides attendees and educational program participants the most current technical updates, certifications, and research findings.

World of Concrete is looking forward to this involvement in South American concrete construction. At this year’s Construction Expo 2016 - International Trade Show and Congress of Building & Infrastructure Construction, World of Concrete is positioned in a prominent space, reflecting the fact concrete is the foundation of commercial construction. The trade fair, promoted by Sobratema – the Brazilian Association of Technology for Construction and Mining, will take place from June 15th to 17th 2016, in the city of São Paulo.

In this inaugural WOC Pavilion, technical associations from around the world will be invited to provide current information on how concrete can be used to create sustainable, durable, and economical cities. These topics affect many aspects of urban development – infrastructure, buildings, storm water control, and roadbuilding.

On June 15, 2016, the World of Concrete Editorial and Training Departments will host 3 sessions on this topic in a dedicated meeting room. Invited speakers will present concrete technologies used on key international civic projects. These presentations will demonstrate how applied material research, studies of contractor efficiency, and new technological developments contribute to sustainable construction.

During the conference, World of Concrete’s display will be the location for gathering information on concrete technologies. Attendees will be invited to meet and exchange ideas on concrete technology. There will be a literature area with information from World of Concrete’s international educational partners.

On June 16 & 17, World of Concrete will organize a series of demonstrations and presentations on emerging technologies. These sessions will occur in the World of Concrete exhibit area. These presentations will be a mixed of exhibitor product demonstrations and technical sessions. These presentations will be concurrently translated into Portuguese.

The World of Concrete Pavilion is an opportunity for architects, engineers, owners, contractors, material suppliers, and equipment manufacturers to explore the best uses of construction’s most versatile material.
