Colorado Governor Bill Ritter, Jr., will address conference participants during the keynote address at the 52nd Annual IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Industry Technical Conference, scheduled for March 28 through April 1, 2010, in Colorado Springs, Colo.

On Monday, March 29, the conference kicks off with a special series of tutorials. Each session will look at the process, the people, and the equipment: what was designed, operational trials and successes, and final implementation. A critical aspect will be the "lessons learned" open dialogue portion. The conference will also be hosting concurrent tutorials covering other key manufacturing topics.

On March 30, the conference will reprise its Environmental Workshop with two of the timeliest issues facing the industry: NESHAP and Climate Change. Keith Barnett from the EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards will address recent NESHAP issues.

Dozens of technical presentations will be presented on Tuesday and Wednesday and the conference will visit GCC’s state-of-the-art Pueblo facility on Thursday. Other highlights include the Annual PCA Safety Awards Luncheon and meetings of PCA’s Environment and Energy Committee, Manufacturing Technical Committee, and Occupational Health and Safety Committee.
