AGG1 is the leading exposition and educational resource targeted specifically to the aggregates industry. It features in-depth industry-focused educational programming and comprehensive exhibits that showcase the latest technologies and innovations in aggregates-related equipment, products and services.

“This event is the perfect opportunity to congregate with your industry colleagues, communicate what our association is doing on behalf of the aggregates industry and get the best aggregates-focused education from experts,” said Michael Johnson, NSSGA’s president and CEO.

“We have one opportunity each year to come together not only as an association, but as an industry,” said Pamela Bouchard, NSSGA’s vice president, membership and meetings. “NSSGA’s AGG1 Academy & Expo continues to shape up to be this association’s most exciting event ever.”

The AGG1 Academy & Expo is geared to the decision-makers and buyers from the companies that produce the vast majority of crushed stone, sand and gravel in the marketplace, including company owners, senior managers, plant managers, superintendents, regional managers, engineers, technical professionals and safety managers.
