The 2024 Utah Asphalt Conference, held from Feb. 27 to 28, 2024, at the Mountain America Expo Center, marked a resounding success for the asphalt pavement industry in Utah.

This year's event attracted 1,082 attendees and featured 94 exhibitors and nearly 30,000 sq. ft. of bulk space, showcasing the latest in industry innovations and services. Participants benefited from more than 35 educational sessions, alongside inspirational keynotes in four general sessions, driving forward the conversation on industry trends, technologies and best practices.

A highlight was the awarding of nine scholarships, thanks to generous contributions raising more than $8,300 for the scholarship fund, underscoring the industry's commitment to nurturing future talent. The conference also hosted its annual dinner at the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium, recognizing outstanding industry achievements with awards for Project of the Year and Industry Leader of the Year.

Further engaging with the next generation, nearly 200 high school students from the Wasatch Front explored the industry first-hand, an initiative that promises to spark interest in the asphalt pavement sector among young minds. The conference not only celebrated current industry achievements, but also set the stage for future innovation and growth, looking forward to welcoming professionals back from Feb. 19 to 20, 2025.
