Several of the biggest names in the blacktop maintenance world had splashy reveals of brand new products, never before seen. Crafco, LeeBoy, Dynapac, and JCB were among those who had worldwide firsts on hand for their customers and show attendees.

Expanded Education
One of the biggest point of feedback we received from the 2024 PAVE/X educational sessions was that contractors were hungry for deeper, more challenging classes. On that front, we've also delivered! In addition to the many entry-level and foundational topics, here are some of our new and expanded offerings.
On Monday, January 27, a day before the show officially opens, the one and only Contractor's Best Friend himself, Brad Humphrey, will be teaching a three hour course from 1:00pm - 4:00pm titled, "People, Processes, and Profits: A Boot Camp for Owners & Their Leaders," a session not to be missed for those in-the-know.
During the 2024 PAVE/X some of the more in-demand classes were packed, wall-to-wall, and seats will fill up quickly this year. You should absolutely be looking at your schedule and be registering for a seat now in order to get the sessions that you want. If you wait, the seats may all be taken. Here are some of the most exciting new classes this year, but, by no means, is this the full list. Visit PAVEXshow.com/sessions for a full listing of the more than 60 available educational hours. No matter what your expertise level there is something for everyone.
