World of Concrete (WOC) is the industry’s only annual international event dedicated to the commercial concrete and masonry construction industries. WOC was introduced to the commercial construction industry in Houston, Texas, in 1975, and it boasts more than 1,500 exhibiting companies and 58,000 registered industry professionals in more than 745,000 net square feet (69,212.8 m²) of exhibit space.

Attendees come together at this expo to conduct face-to-face meetings, experience the newest innovations, participate in cutting-edge conference sessions and demos, and build relationships at high-level networking events. In addition to a show floor featuring hundreds of exhibiting companies and suppliers, IRE also offers 44 educational sessions that provide brilliant speakers, fresh ideas, and continuous inspiration.

The annual conference and training programs provide topics that include surface preparation, coatings and application, project management, research, testing, and technology.

Now in its 58th year of existence, the Underground Corrosion Short Course (UCSC) should be attended by engineers, corrosion technicians, construction foremen, maintenance foremen, or anyone interested in corrosion and corrosion control.

RCI’s premier annual event features more than 25 hours of educational seminars, live product demonstrations, and a two-day trade show with more than 140 exhibitors. With 1,600+ guests and 140 exhibitors scheduled to attend, the RCI show provides industry professionals with opportunities to meet with fellow members, discover the newest developments in building envelope technology, and earn a full year’s worth of continuing education credit.

Individuals focused on the study, prevention, and control of corrosion — including scientists, researchers, engineers, technicians, coatings inspectors and contractors, educators and students, and business executives and owners — will all benefit from hearing from the industry’s best and brightest minds with over 1,000 hours of technical education.
