Internationally recognized architect Edward Mazria will speak on “Precast Concrete’s Role in Sustainable Design” during the keynote speech at the 53rd annual Convention & Exhibition sponsored by the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI). The event is being held at the Phoenix Convention Center October 21-24, 2007.

“Precast concrete’s markets are continuing their upward momentum,” says PCI Chairman of the Board Bob Konoske. “Our customers are informed and they continue to seek out progressive thinking and solutions that resolve today’s design and construction challenges. This year’s convention will continue our efforts to enhance specifier preferences, deliver innovative materials and processes to the marketplace and produce the best precast solutions.”

Topics to be addressed at the event include sustainability, blast resistance, new techniques for parking-structure design, globalization trends, architectural design, GFRC cladding and productivity improvements. A number of these programs have been approved for continuing-education credit hours, providing opportunities for attendees to maximize their professional skills.
