Student Poster Session
The Canadian Technical Asphalt Association invites student poster proposals (Abstracts) for the 70th CTAA Annual Conference that will be held in Toronto, Ontario from November 16th to the 19th, 2025. Proposed posters can be on any aspect of asphalt technology (materials, mixes, production, placing, compaction, design, monitoring, etc.) with the general requirements that the proposed poster has not been previously published in a similar form, be free of direct commercialism promoting products or practices from which the author could benefit, and be presented by the author (or one of the authors) at the conference, if selected.
