The global warm mix asphalt (WMA) workshop will be held at Marriott Hotel in Coralville, Iowa, October 30-31, 2013. The purpose of this workshop is to bring government employees, contractors and manufacturers together to discuss about the past and future of the WMA technologies. Some states adopted the WMA technologies more actively than others and, to move forward, this workshop would serve as a platform to share the pros and cons of the WMA technologies with a focus on field application and performance. You can earn 6.5 Professional Development Hours (PDH's) and receive a certificate for a nominal fee of $10.
The registration fee is $300.
The exhibition booth is available for $850 that includes one registration with all meals.

We will have two lunch speakers from University of Iowa, Prof. Allan Guymon, Co-Director of Photopolymerization Center and Prof. Karim Abdel-Malek, Director of Computer Aided Design.
Prof. Guymon will give a background overview on polymer and photopolymerization on October 30 and Prof. Abdel-Malek will give a presentation about driving simulator and virtual soldier.
Finally, we have a nationally well-known comedian Rex Havens who has appeared on HBO, Showtime, Comedy Central and Comic Relief. He has opened for Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Foxworthy and Tim Allen. He will give his performance during the dinner on October 30. Click here and there to see his past performances.
