World of Asphalt and the AGG1 Academy & Expo 2021 have been cancelled as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The combined shows were scheduled to take place in Atlanta in early March, but after evaluating the situation and weighing input from exhibitors and attendees, organizers have decided to forgo the 2021 instalments of the events.
“Together we made the difficult decision to not hold World of Asphalt and AGG1 in 2021 in Atlanta,” said Audrey Copeland, president and CEO of the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), in a release. “The health and safety of all participants in the show is our highest priority, and with the status of the pandemic in the U.S., we believe the responsible choice is to not hold the show in 2021.
Organizers will instead focus their efforts on the 2022 event, scheduled to take place in Nashville.
Despite the cancellation of the in-person show, NAPA and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) noted they are exploring the option of offering an all-digital education conference in 2021.
