The ACI Spring 2010 Convention - American Concrete Institute

Exhibiting at the ACI convention is an excellent opportunity for your organization to showcase your products and services, as well as for you to network with approximately 1400 concrete professionals. Exhibitors will also have the opportunity to demonstrate their products live during select times on Monday and Tuesday during the convention.

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) is a nonprofit technical and educational society organized in 1904 and is one of the worlds leading authorities on concrete technology. ACI is a forum for the discussion of all matters related to concrete and the development of solutions to problems. ACI conducts this forum through conventions and meetings; the ACI Structural Journal, the ACI Materials Journal, Concrete International, and technical publications; chapter activities; and technical committee work. As its chartered objective states, its purpose is "to provide a comradeship in finding the best ways to do concrete work of all kinds and in spreading that knowledge."

This implies a willingness on the part of each member to contribute from his or her training and knowledge to the benefit of the public at large. By maintaining a high standard of professional and technical ability in its committee memberships and in the authorship of papers and publications, as well as in local chapter programs, ACI has contributed to a detailed knowledge of materials and their resulting structures.

ACI publishes reliable information on concrete and its applications, conducts educational seminars, provides a standard certification program for the industry, provides local forums for discussion through the Chapter program, and encourages student involvement in the concrete field. Committee members involved with these activities meet at bi-annual conventions.
