The SCAPA Winter Conference & Trade Show is the premier networking and educational event for the asphalt industry in South Carolina. SCAPA members, SCDOT engineers and inspectors, state, county and municipal government, contractors, engineers, suppliers, and other asphalt industry professionals will come together, to network, share best practices, learn new skills or refine old ones.

Why? Because as the SC Asphalt Pavement Association, we believe, "Together We Know More."
