American Concrete Pumping Association (ACPA) Announces the 2nd Co-Location of Education Conference

LEWIS CENTER, OHIO – February 7, 2017 – The American Concrete Pumping Association (ACPA) and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) announce the second co-location of the 2017 ACPA Building the Momentum Education Conference and NRMCA ConcreteWorks conference.

Following the success of last fall’s first co-location event, these two important industry events will be held concurrently once again. The 2017 event will take place at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, the event will take place October 2-3.

Attendees will have an opportunity to network not only with other concrete

pumpers, but also with ready mixed producers and members of the NRMCA. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to attend one of NRMCA’s education seminars as well as ACPA’s. Several events and receptions will also be jointly attended.

“Each conference will have its own identity, but the exhibit hall will feature both pumping equipment as well as ready mixed trucks along with vendors from both the ACPA and NRMCA,” says Christi Collins, Executive Director of the ACPA. “We are excited about the continuation of synergy and collaboration between our organizations that began at last year’s event.” 

The ACPA’s Fall Board Meeting will precede the Education Conference at the co-location site, September 30 – October 1, 2017. General session and committee meetings will be held on Saturday, September 30, and the General Board meeting – open to all ACPA members and potential members – will take place on Sunday, October 1.
