World of Asphalt will be held February 15-18, 2010 at the Duke Energy Convention Center in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. Leading industry manufacturers and suppliers will unveil and discuss their latest technologies and product innovations on the show floor, complemented by industry-focused education programs. New World of Asphalt co-locations include the Flexible Pavements of Ohio Annual Meeting and the Plantmix Asphalt Industry of Kentucky (PAIKY) Winter Training School (Covington, KY).
