The People, Plants, and Paving Digital Conference features key content for industry professionals. For people, this focuses on important skills necessary to manage and coach personnel to maximum performance. For plants the discussions will investigate how to evaluate and improve plant performance and to keep the plant operating at peak levels. For paving the topics include important techniques to construct safe and smooth quality pavements at optimum efficiency and enhanced profitability. For pavement preservation the focus will be on techniques to extend the life of pavements such as seal coats, in-place recycling, and crack sealing. And for the environment, health, safety and sustainability topics there will be discussions on the tools, best practices, and innovations to build a safety and sustainability culture.
