THE CONFERENCE

Great Scott! The 2025 Arizona Conference on Roads & Streets is Your Ticket to the Future!

Marty, you’re not going to believe this, but Arizona’s biggest event for engineers and contractors—whether they’re from the public, tribal, or private sectors—is happening, and it will be heavy! This conference packs a flux capacitor-level punch with an electrifying trade show, over 50 hours of technical seminars, and opportunities to make you feel like you’re hitting 88 MPH toward success!

Now, let’s talk time travel savings—because if you register before July 31st, 2025, you’ll lock in the early bird rate:

🚗 Private industry firms: $425 per registrant (before it jumps to $525!)
🚓 Public sector heroes (state/local governments): Just $250—until it jumps to $350!

But remember, this isn’t a DeLorean you can share—registrations are non-transferable.

With 1,500+ attendees, 130+ exhibitors, and more networking opportunities than Doc Brown has inventions, this is one event you can’t afford to miss. So, mark your calendar, fire up the flux capacitor, and get ready for the 2025 Arizona Conference on Roads & Streets!

2025 ARIZONA CONFERENCE ON ROADS & STREETS: MORE THAN 75 YEARS IN THE MAKING!

Great Scott! The Arizona Conference on Roads & Streets Has Been Driving the Future for Over 75 Years!

Marty, roads aren’t just where we’re going—they’re where we’ve been! Since 1938, the Arizona Conference on Roads & Streets has been the ultimate gathering for industry pros, where knowledge flows faster than a hoverboard chase. From cutting-edge presentations by local and national leaders to the free exchange of groundbreaking ideas, this conference remains the epicenter of innovation in Arizona transportation.

DID YOU KNOW?

🚗 The 1st Arizona Conference on Roads & Streets occurred in Tucson, Arizona, 1938!
👥 Attendees: 250
🏢 Sponsors: 3

The Original Sponsors Who Helped Pave the Way:

🔹 University of Arizona
🔹 Arizona Highways Department
🔹 Arizona Society of Professional Engineers

But Marty, history took a detour—World War II paused the conference! Thankfully, in 1957, Professor Hall from the University of Arizona fired up the flux capacitor and returned it. Since then, the conference has continued to evolve, shaping Arizona's future of roads, streets, and transportation!

So, whether you’re an engineer, contractor, or transportation enthusiast—buckle up and get ready to hit 88 MPH toward progress at the Arizona Conference on Roads & Streets! 🚀
