ICPI Conference

The 2006 International Concrete Paving Conference will be held in November in San Francisco. This three-day conference is aimed at design professionals, landscape architects, concrete paver manufacturers, government officials, university professors and industry associations. Concrete block paving, or interlocking concrete pavement, has sold over 400 million square feet last year in the U.S. and Canada. But this is a small fraction of the over 6 billion square feet sold worldwide. Although the industry has been growing at the rate of 15% per year, the United States?EUR??,,????'??? use of concrete pavers is still one of the lowest among developed nations. The conference hopes to educate industry and design professionals on design, specification, construction, and maintenance, thus growing the market in the U.S. For more information, contact the ICPI. www.icpi.org, or call 202-712-9036.
