“We are so excited for everything we brought to year one of PAVE/X and wanted to make sure we expanded on what contractors wanted for year two,” Amy Schwandt, PAVE/X Co-Founder said. “Most notably in 2025, we are changing up the outdoor demo experience a bit so that contractors are able to get ON the equipment and operate it. We will do this in a controlled space with manufacturer representatives on-hand to answer any and all contractor questions during the event.”
Expanded Education
PAVE/X will also be expanding showfloor and education hours so contractors can choose where their time is best spent.
"While the education program in 2024 was a pretty big lift, we realized we could do better," Jessica Lombardo, PAVE/X Co-Founder said. "We wanted to be able to provide 90-minute workshops for more in-depth topics while also offering 1-hour sessions for contractors who want to expand their knowledge in multiple areas. We're happy the Chattanooga Convention Center has the space to be able to accomodate so many sessions in 2025 and will have more space in each classroom as well."
The 2025 event will also feature expanded opportunities for Roundtable discussions on Thursday afternoon during the event. These Roundtables provide contractors with the chance to have detailed conversations about the jobsite issues they face every day. Attendees can ask questions from been-there experts and network with their peers.
"What happens inside the classroom is important, but we know the face to face interactions with those who do the same work as you outside of the sessions are one of the biggest benefits of an event like PAVE/X," Lombardo said. "The Roundtables were great in 2024, but there will be more topics in 2025 for contractors to choose from and more promotions so attendees don't miss these important conversations."
