Conference Organizers are pretty satisfied with the level of attendance (600 people are reportedly registered) in consideration of the weakened economy. Even more satisfying is that 80 of the 600 are cement producers. California Portland and TXI are key contributors to attendance. Ash Grove has only one registrant, but reportedly will be back in 2010 to support the conference in a big way as long as economic conditions do not worsen. Lehigh-Hanson has one registrant. Titan America has one registrant. Holcim has zero registrants. Holcim is currently in “start-up” mode for the world’s largest cement plant (12,000 tpd) which is the 2011host plant. The sites for future year’s are as follows:
- 2010 – Colorado Springs – GCC – Pueblo – March 27-31, 2010
- 2011 – St. Louis – Holcim – Ste. Genevieve – May 22-26, 2011
- 2012 – San Antonio – Cemex – Balcones – May 13-17, 2012
