Maryland Asphalt Association’s Annual Paving Conference

The Maryland Asphalt Association conducts a Paving Conference each spring to bring together asphalt producers and contractors, SHA, FHWA, county and local municipal employees, engineering and consulting firms, and various industry experts. Yearly highlights include awards for projects from around the state, safety and technology transfer presentations, and presentations from other industry experts, as well as vendor displays highlighting innovations and opportunities.

Where Expertise Meets Innovation

Maryland Asphalt Association members have access to technical advice and assistance.

The Maryland Asphalt Association members often share advice and support with other plant owners. Members of the technical working groups meet with FHWA and SHA members at regular intervals to discuss current production activities and issues related to specification development, deployment, and compliance. Through the interaction with SHA and FHWA members, the latest technological advances in the asphalt industry are discussed and possible deployment in experimental projects examined.

Where Business Meets Leisure

Each fall a networking opportunity is hosted by the Association. The “Hot Mixer” allows members and their invited guests to share in camaraderie while enjoying good food in a relaxing atmosphere. This is an opportunity to show coworkers and/or clients appreciation for their help throughout the year. Periodically, other forms of networking events designed to be shared by companies and clients are held at local venues. Sporting clays and golf allow for an out of office activity where the members can let off a little steam, busting clays or driving balls into oblivion.
