The Oregon Asphalt Pavement Conference is the result of a partnership between APAO and the Oregon Department of Transportation, and a commitment to continuous improvement and education. The Conference brings nationally recognized experts and cutting-edge technology to Oregon to ensure that industry and agency personnel have the tools, technologies, and best practices to design and construct the best roadway infrastructure possible. 
​Come for the Conference and stay for the next day for free!
The Oregon Safety Symposium is at the Convention Center, and will feature speakers, vendors, and education on roadway work zone safety. The Conference and the Symposium is the perfect pairing of technical and practical subjects and will also be a great networking opportunity.  ​
