The people's choice: readers can cast their vote in the first annual Most Innovative Products...

Since its beginning, World of Concrete is the place where concrete industry professionals meet every year to learn about the most innovative technologies that manufacturers have to offer. Every year, a select few exhibitors display truly innovative products that rise above the crowd and promise

to make a significant impact on concrete construction in the years to come.

To highlight this show feature, Hanley-Wood, LLC introduces its first Most Innovative Products contest. The editors of sponsoring magazines CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION, MASONRY CONSTRUCTION, THE CONCRETE PRODUCER, and CONCRETE & MASONRY CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS have reviewed hundreds of product nominations. Their efforts have produced a select list of products from which readers and show attendees can select their favorite new products. This unique, exciting competition allows the most demanding panel of experts--the entire community of concrete industry professionals--to vote on what innovation really means. For more information about all the nominees and to cast your votes, visit WorldofConcrete.com

Or, if you are planning to attend the show in Las Vegas in February check out these innovations in person. A ballot with the complete list of nominees will be available in the Program Guide.

While many of the nominations had a definite contractor emphasis, the judges did select several products that producers may find innovative. More information on these products is available by visiting the nominees' Web sites or by circling their corresponding numbers on the reader service card.
