Industry Co-Located Shows Promise New Technology
BY AsphaltPro Staff
With each iteration of the World of Asphalt (WOA) and AGG1 tradeshow and conference, the asphalt and affiliated industries see new technologies, enhanced business ideas and updated best practices. The 2024 installment of WOA and AGG1, to be held March 25-27 in Nashville, will have over 400 exhibitors sharing tried and tested—as well as new—iron and tech with attendees.
If you haven’t attended this co-located pair of events, you’re in for a treat. Let’s start with a quick-n-dirty snapshot, as stated on the WOA website: “World of Asphalt Show & Conference focuses exclusively on the asphalt industry as its leading exposition and education resource. World of Asphalt features in-depth industry-focused educational programming and comprehensive exhibits that showcase the latest technologies and innovations in asphalt-related equipment, products, and services. The World of Asphalt Show & Conference is co-located with NSSGA’s AGG1 Academy & Expo, providing an enhanced show experience for attendees by offering additional exhibits and education opportunities.”
The combined show happens every year that our industry doesn’t experience a CONEXPO-CON/AGG tradeshow and conference out in Las Vegas and it targets asphalt, highway/street, pavement maintenance and traffic safety industry professionals like the readers of AsphaltPro. The show’s owners are the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), and the National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association (NSSGA), with AEM producing the show.
AEM states that over 11,000 visitors come from across the United States, as well as worldwide, to attend. According to AEM, this year, WOA exhibits are set to offer a broad array of the newest products, technologies and services in areas including:
- Asphalt production and recycling equipment
- Road-building machinery
- Pavement maintenance equipment
- Soil stabilizers
- Information technology
- Chemical and petroleum products
- Pollution control
- Testing equipment
- Work zone safety and traffic management
- Trucks and trailers
This month, AsphaltPro staff have gathered information from those exhibitors who are also advertising partners with us to give you a snapshot of what to expect at the show. Not everyone had all the details lined up at press time, but the 40,000-foot-view for some exhibitor booths still suggested WOA/AGG1 2024 will help you gear up for a successful production and paving season.
In alphabetical order, the companies that support this publication, thus your industry, will display the following information and iron at the Music City Center, located at 201 Rep. John Lewis Way S., in Nashville. Make sure they’re on your dance card and let them know you saw them in AsphaltPro Magazine when you stop by to learn from their representatives, CEOs and sales teams.
