Workshops
In-person and online workshops on modern slab-on-ground design.
Fall SLABS™ Workshops
We're continuing the SLABS™ workshop series alongside the Fall ACI Convention in Atlanta, with the same workshop offered twice. This is not a repeat of our Spring ACI workshop in Chicago — we'll cover what's changed and been published since SLABS™ went live, the 47 million square feet already built with this approach, direct comparison of slab-on-ground systems, the legacy Westergaard approach, and how SLABS™ applies to forensic investigations. An extended panel discussion and Q&A round it out.
Sunday, October 11
Past1:00 – 4:30 PM
Tuesday, October 13
8:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Where: Hilton Atlanta – Nikolai's Roof (Top Floor), 255 Courtland St NE, Atlanta, GA 30303
Right downtown, where the ACI Fall Convention is held — we made it easy.
The workshop is in Nikolai's Roof on the 30th floor of the Hilton Atlanta.
NOTE: There is an express elevator to NR for Nikolai's Roof, while most elevators at the Hilton do not provide access to that floor and require a room key card for access to any floor. Please follow the express elevator signage.
