Rich Cofoid, DCC Council Director The Voice Newsletter 2023

With the end of the year in sight it is not too early to start planning for the 2024 World of Concrete in Las Vegas. You don’t want to miss this year’s event as it is the 50th anniversary and promises to be the best ever!

Brand new this year...The DCC and CPC have joined forces to bring you The Decorative Concrete Experience, an interactive area in the back of the South Hall where attendees can learn how to participate and prosper in these dynamic market segments. The Experience will feature live and recorded, short peer-to-peer presentations from industry experts on topics crafted to help new and experienced practitioners improve their businesses. Other planned highlights include:

• A Historical Review of Decorative Concrete – including:
  • A pictorial review of its evolution
  • Meet the Legends sessions during which the audience can learn from some of the leading artisans who helped shape this industry.
• The 2023 Winners of the DCC Award program – including:
  • A pictural review of the winning projects
  • Meet the Winners sessions during which members of the project’s design team will explain how they solved the challenges encountered on the projects.
• Interactive concrete polishing exhibits – including:
  • aggregate exposure standards
  • testing floor reflectivity
  • and much more
• A description of the technical resources that ASCC, CPC, and DCC provide the industry (and, of course, the chance to join).
• Debunking polished and decorative concrete myths
• The self-guided Decorative Concrete Hall of Fame

Up until the Show’s opening on Tuesday January 23rd we will be busy putting together this must-see exhibit. Plan to arrive a little early so you can join our board meetings on Monday and really get things started at the ASCC Kick off Bash Monday evening.
