All Pavements Lead to Atlanta!

Construction of the 9,000-foot Fifth Runway at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport will be approaching completion at the time of this conference. It is due to be commissioned in Summer 2006. This massive project has included the movement of more than 18 million cubic yards of earth fill from offsite borrow pits by means of a five-mile long conveyor belt and discharge bin system, and the construction of a full-length parallel taxiway and dual north/south taxiways.

In addition to getting a glimpse of this landmark pavement project, conference attendees will have the opportunity to experience Atlanta, Georgia's true Southern hospitality in a modern, big-city setting. While you're in town, plan to visit locations connected with civil rights and the Civil War, take a CNN studio tour, or explore Underground Atlanta's unique shopping and dining spots, local history, and frequent special events. Also arrange a trip to the new Georgia Aquarium, scheduled to open in November 2005 with more than 5 million gallons of water and more than 55,000 fish.
