2025 Concrete Innovation Forum: A Sustainable Future for Wind Energy Begins in Denver! (Copy)
The ACI Foundation’s Concrete Innovation Forum returns August 12–14, 2025, at the Hotel Clio in Denver, Colorado—an ideal location for companies in the Rocky Mountain region and a hub for renewable energy innovation. This annual event has become a cornerstone for professionals advancing sustainable concrete technologies, and our company is proud to continue its tradition of active participation.

Having attended the forum in previous years, our team has consistently found it to be a valuable platform for engaging with cutting-edge research, emerging technologies, and industry leaders. The 2025 forum promises to build on that legacy with a robust agenda focused on sustainability, innovation, and collaboration across the concrete value chain.
This year’s program includes:
A technology showcase on biochar and bioinspired materials, highlighting early applications and stakeholder engagement.
Life cycle analysis of low-carbon concrete mixes, offering practical tools for reducing environmental impact.
A panel on non-metallic building materials, featuring innovations in fiber-reinforced polymers, polymer concrete, and composite systems.
Presentations from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory on leveraging federal research for industry advancement.
Sessions on blended cements, calcined clays, and MgO-activated slag concretes, all aimed at reducing clinker content and carbon emissions.
The forum also includes a welcome reception, networking dinners, and a (now fully booked!) tour of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory—making it not just a technical summit but a community-building experience.
For companies working on wind turbine foundations and concrete wind towers, this event is more than relevant—it’s essential. With Denver as the host city, the forum is both geographically convenient and symbolically aligned with the region’s leadership in sustainable infrastructure. Early-bird registration ends on July 22. We’ll see you there!
Optimizing a wind turbine foundation is NOT just about reducing its volume!
