ACI Concrete Convention Brings the Concrete Industry Together in Baltimore, Maryland

The concrete community came together in Baltimore, Maryland, in celebration of the 200th ACI Concrete Convention, the world’s gathering place for advancing concrete. Close to 2,500 professionals and students from more than 70 countries attended, including researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders, to share knowledge and drive innovation in the design, construction, maintenance, and repair of concrete projects. Over four days, attendees participated in educational sessions, networking events, committee meetings, and a student competition, totaling more than 100 hours of industry-leading content.

“We are thrilled by the remarkable turnout and engagement at the Fall 2025 ACI Concrete Convention in Baltimore. Bringing together the brightest minds in concrete materials, design, construction, and research, this year’s gathering has reaffirmed our commitment to innovation, collaboration, and excellence in the industry,” said Frederick H. Grubbe, executive vice president, ACI. “We extend our sincere thanks to all attendees, exhibitors, and allied organizations who helped make this event a catalyst for advancing concrete knowledge and practice.”

The ACI Convention kicked off with the Egg Protection Device (EPD) Student Competition, where the objective was to design and build plain or reinforced concrete devices capable of withstanding the highest impact load. This marked the first EPD Competition held in 10 years, bringing renewed excitement and innovation to one of ACI’s most popular student challenges.

Thirty-seven teams from the USA, Mexico, Ecuador, Egypt, Peru, Guatemala, Chile, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico submitted entries for judging in two categories: Technical Performance and Aesthetics. Cash prizes of $750, $500, and $250 were awarded to first, second, and third place, respectively, in Technical Performance.
