About MAPS
Materials and Asphalt Pavement Solutions (MAPS) brings practical, real-world insight to the challenges cities and counties face in managing their pavement networks. Each two-day event features a full day of education and networking, followed by a half-day session focused on paving, compaction, and inspector training. Join us Wednesday, February 11, 2026 - Thursday, February 12, 2026 in Midland at the The Barbara & George H.W. Bush Convention Center to connect with peers, explore new technologies, and gain strategies to improve pavement performance, stretch budgets, and strengthen local programs.
