The inaugural Southwest Asphalt Conference & Equipment Show brought the industry together in Albuquerque October 27–29—and you made it a success! More than 800 industry professionals attended the equipment show, and over 400 participants took part in our asphalt training sessions. With 80 exhibitors, 41 sponsors, and an outstanding speaker lineup led by NASA astronaut Mike Mullane, SWACES delivered opportunities to see the latest equipment, gain practical knowledge, and make valuable connections. Those connections delivered results: our exhibitors reported more than 350 leads! From the opening social to the show floor and training rooms, the energy and enthusiasm set the tone for a strong future.Thank you to every attendee, exhibitor, sponsor, speaker, and volunteer. Your participation, investment, and hard work made this first SWACES possible and gave us plenty to build on.

Here’s what people are saying: “Amazing!” “This was a fantastic event.” “I couldn't believe all the equipment we saw. It looked like World of Asphalt right here in New Mexico.” “Speakers were top notch! Awesome to have this kind of training in New Mexico.” “We made so many connections. We'll be back next year.” “Downtown Albuquerque was a great location for this conference. I didn't realize the convention center had all this.”

Planning is already underway for the next SWACES. We look forward to bringing the industry together again—and making it even better.
