"The 50th anniversary symbolizes five decades of growth, adaptability and unwavering commitment to the industry that serves as the backbone of modern construction."

Since the first edition, World of Concrete has been the trusted source of the most revolutionary products, ideas and implementations of new techniques that have contributed to the advancement of concrete and masonry use in both residential and commercial construction projects. World of Concrete sets the standard for the entire industry as it experiences changes in economic impact from the United States construction market, addresses global challenges in the labor force, introduces technological advancements and continues to adapt with the ever-evolving landscape of construction. World of Concrete supports the growth and development of emerging and established brands, enabling connections with market leaders, collaborators and distributors, creating opportunities to showcase new products and maintain visibility in the market, now sized at USD $56 billion.

"Our partnership with the World of Concrete started when Quikrete was our sole focus. At this year's conference, The Quikrete Companies represent the 17 leading construction products' businesses we own. We are grateful to our customers and employees for our continued growth and success and have no doubt that participation in the World of Concrete has been an important factor in that success."

The first iteration of World of Concrete began as a 75,000 square foot exhibit filled with concrete-related demonstrations and workshops. In the following years, the event has remained a driving force, supporting the launch of new innovations, as well as making history as the first event to debut at the Las Vegas Convention Center's $1 billion West Hall in 2021. Now, World of Concrete is solidified as the largest event dedicated to the concrete construction and masonry industries, spanning over 700,000 net square feet and convening more than 1,400 exhibiting brands, providing unmatched resources to thousands of industry professionals annually.

Our time at World of Concrete gives us a perspective into the future of the industry and how we can meet the needs of our customers. We look forward to the next 50 years of World of Concrete."
