Every 4 years the Transportation Research Board sponsors an International Road Weather and Winter Maintenance Conference where winter maintenance professionals gather to learn about emerging technologies, new strategies, the latest technology, and current research for responding to severe weather events and winter maintenance. After a pause due to the pandemic this conference is happening once again. In Washington DC, May 9-10, 2023, you can be part of this gathering and exchange of information.
