2015 AAPA NATIONAL WORKSHOP SERIES: QUALITY ROADS, FIXED BUDGETS

AAPA workshop series

AAPA workshop seriesInternational guests and local experts from all sides of road construction will travel to state capitals to discuss and share best practices, challenge existing norms, and lift-the-lid on solutions to keep the quality of your next road project up, and the costs down.

Built on the back of the resounding success of the 2014 workshop, which attracted over 900 participants around Australia, we expect an even bigger turnout at this year’s workshop.
