It’s back! Re-launched by SEMCO Publishing, the publishers of Rock Products, Concrete Products, Cement Americas and the North American Cement Directory, the International Cement Seminar—which previously ran for more than 35 years—returns to bring focus to the equipment and technology that is driving productivity and profitability.

The construction economy is bouncing back, resulting in gains in cement consumption. According to recent economic forecasts, double-digit increases are on the horizon. With Congress poised to pass comprehensive infrastructure-spending legislation, cement manufacturers are gearing up for a major demand bump, led by improvement in private-sector fundamentals, such as job creation, investment and ease of lending standards.

As the market for cement production continues to grow and evolve, the long-requested return of the International Cement Seminar will help industry professionals strategically plan for the future.
