The organizers of the 2009 World of Asphalt Show & Conference and co-located AGG1 Aggregates Forum & Expo report strong attendance at the event, which was March 9-12 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.

The final registration was 5,800, including 16 percent international. World of Asphalt attracted 3,650 to its last show, held in 2007. The numbers indicated a strong start for the inaugural AGG1.

Attendees came from more than 60 countries besides the United States. Official delegations came from China, India, Mongolia and Russia.

Nearly 400 exhibitors took 85,900 net square feet of exhibit space.

“The comments we heard from attendees were very positive, that the trade show floor was where they needed to be to keep in touch with what’s happening in their industry segments,” says Show Director Sara Truesdale Mooney.
