The Kuwaiti government plans to spend up to KWD 40bn (USD 139.9bn) on its proposed five-year development plan which runs until 2014. Within this state plan, several massive construction projects are planned to take place in the near future. This will create huge demand for cement and other building materials. The Kuwait Cement and Concrete Conference and Exhibition aims to be the educational and networking platform which provides insights on the latest developments and technologies related to the cement and concrete industry.

 The Kuwait Cement and Concrete Conference and Exhibition aims to present the latest advances related to the study and use of cementitious materials and cutting-edge developments in the science and engineering of construction concrete. The event will bring together academics and industrialists, researchers and practitioners, engineers and scientists, all of whom will be presenting up-to-the-minute results looking at the performance and properties of cement and concrete.

 This two-day conference will address societal and sustainability concerns, including environmental impact, durability and lifetime prediction, material recycling, low energy materials, building codes, maintenance and repair of structures and concrete in hot and aggressive environments.

 The Kuwait Cement and Concrete Conference and Exhibition is committed to focusing on the current concerns of cement and concrete professionals and to address local and world-wide problems through presentations, seminars and workshops along with a selection of keynote addresses and technical papers to make this conference highly beneficial to professionals involved in the world of concrete.

Key topics highlighted at the conference will include:
• Advances in Chemical Admixtures
• Advances in Supplementary Cementitious Materials & Fibers
