A Message from the Chairman

" Our Marketing team hit it out of the ballpark with the new booth this year. It was everything we had hoped for and more. We wanted a professional, attractive look that would accommodate the flow of traffic and welcome visitors to stay and network. The graphics communicated a logical story and informed people of the concrete support alternative that is WWR without appearing too gimmicky. As a long-time supporter of World of Concrete, we look forward to continuing the partnership and celebrating the 50^th anniversary of World of Concrete in 2024."

– Richard Wagner, Chairman, WRI

Note from the Technical Consultant

"Given the WRI serves as the industry authority on WWR specification and usage, and the World of Concrete is a melting pot for all things related to concrete construction, there exists a natural fit and common mission between the two. The booth reflected this and our expertise in a simplistic and accessible way. It appealed to the various generations and personalities of the attendees by making everyone feel welcome. The booth gave visitors easy and direct access to content in the WRI’s ever-expanding technical resource library and provided information however they chose to consume it."

– Paul Aubee, PE, SE, Technical Consultant, WR

Notes from World of Concrete

“The Wire Reinforcement Institute has been a vital cosponsor of World of Concrete for more than 43 years. Members have provided training through our educational program and promotion of critical technical resources that improve the quality of concrete construction practices by interacting with our attendees.”

– Rick Yelton, World of Concrete Editor at Large

“The continued support and participation from one of the concrete industry’s oldest trade associations have contributed to WOC’s mission to foster and improve concrete construction. We look forward to strengthening our relationship for the next 50 years.”

– Jackie James, Vice President, World of Concrete
