From May 4th to 8th, 2025, the cement industry will gather in Birmingham, Alabama, for the 67th annual IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Conference — the largest conference in the U.S. dedicated to cement manufacturing. With the sector facing increasing demands for innovation, sustainability, and efficiency, this year’s event promises to be more critical than ever for producers and suppliers navigating today’s market.
This event is hosted by the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IEEE-IAS), a volunteer-driven organization for engineering professionals looking to improve the theory and practice of electrical and electronic systems, in partnership with the Portland Cement Association (PCA). The conference brings together leading engineers, plant operators, cement producers, suppliers and executives. It serves as a hub for knowledge-sharing, technical education, and strategic partnerships within the cement and concrete industry.
Key themes expected to dominate the agenda include:
Decarbonization & Sustainability: As cement production faces regulations and environmental pressures, sessions will focus on carbon reduction strategies, alternative fuels, and green chemistry.
Process Automation & Digitalization: From AI-powered monitoring systems to smart factory models, digital transformation is reshaping cement plants. Conference panels will explore technologies that boost productivity and reduce downtime.
Advanced Material Science: Attendees will discover innovations in cement blends, admixtures, and specialty cements that cater to modern construction and infrastructure needs.
Safety & Operational Excellence: Safety remains of utmost importance, and best practices in plant operations, worker protection, and compliance will be addressed in depth.
For Cement Producers & Suppliers
Cement producers will benefit from technical workshops, plant tours, and exhibitor demonstrations showcasing solutions that improve energy efficiency, emissions control, and cost optimization. Suppliers will have the chance to network with key decision-makers seeking technologies that help them prepare and improve their facilities.
