Mark Your Calendar: 2026 Concrete Conference Returns to Austin
The Cement Council of Texas, in collaboration with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), is proud to host the 2026 Concrete Conference on May 13–14 in Austin, Texas. Building on the momentum of last year’s event, this year’s conference will feature cutting-edge sessions focused on bridges, highways, and streets/local roads, with an emphasis on innovation, durability, and sustainability.
For 2026, the planning committee is working diligently to deliver a program that tackles today’s most relevant challenges and showcases forward-thinking solutions in the concrete industry. Whether you're involved in engineering, construction, or materials, this is the premier event to stay connected with the future of concrete infrastructure in Texas.
In addition, a Student Poster Competition will take place, inviting students from universities across Texas to showcase their latest research in concrete materials, design, and construction. This is a great opportunity to engage with the next generation of innovators and explore emerging ideas shaping the industry.
In 2024, the conference featured impactful discussions on the state of blended cements, rigid pavement design updates, bonded overlays, and roller-compacted concrete (RCC). Experts from TxDOT, local governments, and the private sector shared insights on resilient infrastructure, concrete pavement performance, and the latest in bridge engineering practices.
