The American Concrete Institute will host a convention in New Orleans, Nov. 6 through Nov. 10, with the theme “Spice up your Concrete.” The convention will be the second following the Institute’s yearlong centennial celebration. More than 300 meetings are planned, plus 42 technical sessions and an exhibit hall. Expected highlights include the FRPRCS-7 symposium, a mixer featuring a re-creation of a Mardi Gras parade, a Mississippi jazz dinner cruise, and a celebration for the 25th anniversary of ACI’s certification program. Teams of students from across the globe will compete in producing a concrete cube that achieves a target design strength of 35 MPa and a target mass of 205 grams per cube (moderately lightweight concrete). The competition is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 6. The convention is hosted by ACI’s Louisiana Chapter. To register, visit www.concrete.org or call (248) 848- 3700.
