When

Tuesday to Thursday July 19 to 21, 2022

This year WRI is dedicating a special session to the “Future of Asphalt”. A panel of experts are anticipated to discuss asphalt binder of the future: asphalt production/supply/applications, possible alternative binders, and potential consequences of the US Infrastructure bill. Tentatively, six speakers will be invited to present their views on:

R&D perspectives
Bitumen supplier perspectives
Paving contractor perspectives
Roofing company perspectives
DOT/RMAUPG perspectives
Possible impact / consequences of the Infrastructure Bill

Presentations will be followed by a panel Q&A and discussion session. Please stay tuned as we announce our upcoming panel of experts!
