With World of Concrete 2021 on schedule for an in-person event (the first major tradeshow in the country, by the way), we collected a quick shortlist of products you'll find on the show floor. World of Concrete is scheduled to run June 8-10, for Las Vegas—remember, there will be no on-site registration this year, so make sure to register online as soon as possible.
Forget your face mask at the gate? Don't worry, while the show isn't requiring a face mask but they are recommended. A fask will be available for guests should you not have one of your own. Attendees are asked to follow all CDC guidelines for social distancing. The show provides a list of all safety precautions each guest are asked to required to follow.
The weather forecast says it should be hot, so keep cool, hydrate, and stay safe.
