Think Globally, Build Locally The Third International Congress and Exhibition Incorporating the CEB FIP Annual Convention & Bridge Conference First Invitation Washington, D.C. May 29 June 2, 2010 Gaylord National Resort www.fib2010washington.com 3 major events under one roof Thousands of attendees Over 30 countries represented Over 700 papers presented 2 Over 100,000 ft of exhibit space One international venue Organized by: www.pci.org

Invitation fib: michael fardis One of fib s two parent organizations, FIP, held its seventh congress in New York in 1974, and its twelfth (and penultimate one before its merger with CEB), in Washington D.C. in 1994. Now, the International Federation for Structural Concrete, (fib), is coming back to the U.S. with its top event, the Congress held every four years. fib s Third International Congress, incorporating PCI s 2010 Annual Convention and Bridge Conference, will take place in the nation s capital, Washington D.C., and will build on the successful tradition of its 2002 Congress in Osaka (Japan) and the 2006 edition in Naples (Italy). Congresses are fib s high points. Unlike its Symposia, which take place during non-congress years and focus on specific themes, Congresses encompass all aspects of structural concrete, bringing together practitioners, researchers and other experts from all over the world to share information, knowledge and experience in all fields of concrete. It is only at Congresses that fib confers its highest award,: the Freyssinet Medal, on one or two individuals for their outstanding technical contributions to structural concrete, and presents its prestigious Awards for Outstanding Concrete Structures. Last, but not least, the first draft of fib s 2010 Model Code for concrete structures (the follow up to the 1978 and 1990 CEB/FIP Model Codes) will be presented in public and debated for the first time at the Washington Congress. I would like to invite you to fib s Third International Congress in Washington D.C., for a unique opportunity to share information and knowledge, and to network and mingle socially with thousands of concrete experts from around the world. May is the best time of the year to visit the U.S. capital. Furthermore, in view of the forthcoming wave of infrastructure projects and the probable recovery of the housing market, it will be the right time to connect with other concrete experts. I look forward to welcoming you all in Washington D.C. next May. Michael Fardis President, fib PAGE 2

Invitation PCI: James toscas The fib Congress is the most prestigious international event of the concrete field, and the Third International Congress promises to be the best one ever. PCI, as lead organization for the fib US Group, is proud to serve as host for the Third International Congress. The theme Think Globally, Build Locally is an essential tenet of sustainable design and construction, which represents the next stage in the evolution of design. Concrete structures have inherent advantages with regard to sustainability, which makes it incumbent on designers and engineers working in concrete to embrace and advance this concept. Accordingly, the Congress technical program will include the latest in sustainable design concepts and experience. To think globally we need to share ideas and collaborate on a global basis. If we are to make effective use of the world s resources, we cannot afford to dismiss ideas, technologies, and methods because they were not invented here. The Congress will serve as a salient reminder that science and engineering know no national boundaries. We will gather to share our best with one another, thus advancing the whole of our industry and of society. I invite you to join us in Washington, DC for several days of learning, camaraderie, enjoyment, and thinking globally. I then hope that you will apply what you have learned to a new level of building locally with concrete. Finally, I trust that you will long enjoy the memories and friends you make at this wonderful event. James G. Toscas President, PCI PAGE 3

CEB FIP Congress Overview The objective of fib (International Federation for Structural Concrete) is to develop, at an international level, the study of scientific and practical matters capable of advancing the technical, economic, aesthetic, and environmental performance of concrete construction. For further information, see www.fib-international.org. The International fib Congress and Exhibition, held only once every four years, is always a major event on the concrete industry calendar. The 2010 event will be no exception. The theme for the 2010 Congress is Think Globally, Build Locally, celebrating international information sharing and collaboration to achieve superior results everywhere people design and build with concrete. No matter what your interest may be in the realm of concrete design and construction, you will find the 2010 fib Congress and Exhibition to be an extremely valuable and enjoyable event that is not to be missed. ORGANIZER INFORMATION Since its inception in 1954, the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) has been an important and successful vehicle to bring members together for the exchange of knowledge and industry promotion. PCI members guide the institute s efforts in product innovation, new technology adaptation, design methods development, training, and quality assurance. PCI s Annual Convention will be held in conjunction with the fib Congress. Expect to network with precast and prestressed concrete manufacturers and erectors, industry suppliers, DOT and federal highway representatives, engineers, architects, and academics. PAGE 4
