In just over a month, European paving and asphalt specialists will gather in the Slovenian Capital Ljubljana for the 3rd International Conference on Asphalt 4.0.
The two-day event - September 24 and 25 at the Grand Union Hotel - is a must-attend conference for anyone involved in Europe’s paving sector. From paving contractors and material buyers to road agencies and highway environmental specialists, the speakers will present something for everyone.
There will be an emphasis on groundbreaking technologies related to the digital transformation of asphalt mixes.
The third conference - presented by Asefma (Spanish Asphalt Manufacturers Association) and ZAS (Slovenian Asphalt Pavement Association), in collaboration with EAPA (European Asphalt Pavement Association) - is a continuation of two previous editions that took place in Madrid.
Over the course of two enriching days in Slovenia, the 3rd International Conference on Asphalt 4.0 will provide all attendees with the unique opportunity to expand their knowledge base. Engaging roundtable discussions will also be a focal point, offering a platform for interactive exchanges of ideas and experiences.
