2016 AGGREGATES ACADEMY & EXPO | MARCH 22-24, 2016 | MUSIC CITY CENTER, NASHVILLE, TN2

NSSGA’s AGG1 Aggregates Academy & Expo is the aggregates industry’s leading exposition and educa-tion resource. AGG1 features in-depth industry-focused educational programming and comprehensive exhibits that showcase the latest technologies and innovations in aggregates-related equipment, products and services.

It 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, techni-cal professionals and safety managers.

AGG1 is co-located with the World of Asphalt.

Who is NSSGA?NSSGA is the leading voice and advocate for the aggre-gates industry. The associa-tion represents the crushed stone, sand and gravel— or construction aggregates— industries. Our member com-

panies produce more than 90 percent of the crushed stone and 70 percent of the sand and gravel consumed annually in the United States. More than 2.17 billion metric tons of aggregates were produced in 2014 at a value of $19.8 billion, contributing $46.1 billion to the GDP of the United States. The aggregates industry workforce is made up of about 81,500 highly skilled men and women working at about 10,000 operations around the U.S. Still, tens of thousands more jobs in industries that provide machinery, equip-ment and services are dependent on aggregates production.
