World of Asphalt and the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), has opened registration for the first ever People, Plants and Paving Digital Conference. Attendees can register at WorldOfAsphalt.com.

“We’re excited for this new, digital experience for asphalt paving professionals,” said NAPA president & CEO Audrey Copeland, PE, PhD. “COVID-19 won’t stop us from providing world class education and training for the asphalt pavement industry. Our members and stakeholders value this opportunity to expand their knowledge and strengthen their competitive advantage, performance, and success.”

“We already have 60 education sessions confirmed so far,” said World of Asphalt show manager Brittany Weltcheff. “This is going to be one of the best lineups of professional education sessions ever offered, and everyone can access the content safely from their own home or office.”

The People, Plants, and Paving Digital Conference features key content for industry professionals. For people, this focuses on important skills necessary to manage and coach personnel to maximum performance. For plants the discussions will investigate how to evaluate and improve plant performance and to keep the plant operating at peak levels. For paving the topics include important techniques to construct safe and smooth quality pavements at optimum efficiency and enhanced profitability. For pavement preservation the focus will be on techniques to extend the life of pavements such as seal coats, in-place recycling, and crack sealing. And for the environment, health, safety and sustainability topics there will be discussions on the tools, best practices, and innovations to build a safety and sustainability culture.
