UPDATE: MCAA Plans For World of Concrete 2022

Words: Dan Kamys

The MCAA announced tentative plans for World of Concrete 2022 at the Midyear Meeting in Memphis last month. However, we have been unable to secure reasonable pricing for both hotel rooms and event spaces at the new Resorts World in Las Vegas. 

All MCAA Meetings will take place at the Las Vegas Convention Center for the 2022 World of Concrete. As a result, there is no “headquarters” hotel for those looking to stay where our events will be. MCAA Staff and leaders of the organization are expected to be staying at the Vdara, which is our usual hotel. 

Along with recommending that attendees book whatever hotel they’re comfortable with, the MCAA will not be hosting an official South of 40 Party in 2022. We are hoping to secure a venue for a smaller, limited event for that Tuesday.

Official registration for World of Concrete is set to open a little later this month. As always, we look forward to reconnecting with industry stakeholders at the World of Concrete.
