Concrete Pavement University
What is Concrete Pavement University?
One of the hallmarks of ACPA’s annual meetings historically has been its popular “Tech Day Forum.” Improving and expanding on this top-rated program, ACPA presents "Concrete Pavement University."
The format is patterned after basic, intermediate and advanced level courses, typically assigned 100, 200, and 300 levels found in universities. This is a serious approach to presenting technical topics, but there will be a few fun surprises in store for attendees and CPU instructors alike.
Concrete Pavement University participants are eligible to receive up to 7.5 professional development hour (PDH) credits for participating.
