The ACI Foundation and NEU: An ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete will co-host their first Summit on Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, immediately before the ACI Concrete Convention in Atlanta, GA.

The Summit, "Increasing the Pace of Change: Working Together for Better Concrete Across the Value Chain," stems from ACI Foundation-funded research conducted between 2024 and 2026 that identified key barriers across the concrete pavement value chain and developed actionable strategies to accelerate the adoption of emerging materials and technologies.

The Summit will bring together researchers, industry professionals, and experts from academia and government to present findings and share how those strategies are being applied to real-world challenges.

Register for the Summit when registering for the ACI Concrete Convention.
