AGG1 Aggregates Forum Programming Announced

Nearly 50 aggregate-specific educational sessions will be offered at the AGG1 Academy, which will be held during the 2009 Aggregates Forum & Expo.

The National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association developed the AGG1 Academy as a comprehensive knowledge resource for aggregates producers, their suppliers and their customers. Industry experts will share insights with attendees through case studies, panel discussions and presentations. Previously, 13 NSSGA education conferences were conducted separately throughout the year.

The AGG1 Aggregates Forum & Expo will be March 9-12, 2009, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. AGG1 is co-located with the World of Asphalt Show and Conference.

Nearly 50 educational sessions in the AGG1 Academy will offer aggregates-related learning opportunities in areas including automation, community/government affairs, dredging, drilling and blasting, environment, equipment management, leadership/management/human resources, mine planning, processing, safety and health, transportation and underground mining.

Advance registration to receive discounted entry fees for the shows’ exhibits and education is available until Feb. 6, 2009.

Full details on the schedule of sessions, including topics, presentations and speakers, are available online at www.agg1.org.
