"Attendees can discuss product capabilities with the leading manufacturers, and comparison-shop to make informed buying decisions," stated Show Director Melissa Magestro. "And, they'll gain invaluable insights from our show education to more effectively manage their resources for business growth."

AGG1 and World of Asphalt will offer a broad range of equipment, products and services on the show floor, including exhibit pavilions for pavement maintenance, work zone safety, testing and technology. A New Product and Technology program further spotlights the many technological advancements that will be on display.

Attendees can take advantage of more than 100 expert-led education sessions on a wider variety of topics than ever before, with a focus on state-of-the-art knowledge to improve job productivity and operating efficiencies. Education programs include the AGG1 Academy, organized by the National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association (NSSGA), AGG1 show owner.
