When the new year rolls around, so does the trade show schedule. Trade shows can be overwhelming, with thousands of attendees and hundreds of events spread out over a large area. To make the most of in-person events, it helps to have a plan. Download the event’s app ahead of time and check out the website. Scout out the booths that relate to your industry or interest ahead of time and make a list. Take note if any of them are offering demonstrations or product giveaways, and what times those take place. Here are lists of the booths that relate to the waterproofing industry for World of Concrete. Bolded exhibitor listings are advertisers in this issue of the magazine.

In 2026, World of Concrete will offer more than 150 educational sessions with more than 60 new topics for the year. This year WOC has added bilingual webinars plus a full track presented in Spanish.

Deep Foundation Waterproofing: Why a Holistic Approach Matters
By Lisa Semling
With limited above-grade space, developers are increasingly turning to subgrade levels to house essential functions such as parking, storage, healthcare facilities, retail, and data infrastructure. But, the deeper the foundation, the more intense the challenges.

Polyurea Coatings: A Fast-Curing Solution for Waterproofing Concrete Decks
By Vanessa Salvia
Polyurea coatings offer a combination of seamless application, superior durability, and remarkably fast cure times that are changing how waterproofing projects are specified and executed.

Beyond 6-Mil Poly: The Case for Class A Vapor Barriers
By Vanessa Salvia
Moisture intrusion through concrete slabs remains one of the most challenging issues for waterproofing professionals to remedy after construction.

Managing Shrinkage Cracks in HCA-Waterproofed Concrete Structures
By David Webster, PE, SE, Ph.D
This article examines how hydrophilic crystallizing admixtures (HCAs) used as waterproofing in concrete structures require careful crack width control, as demonstrated by a Seattle building case study where inadequate reinforcing led to cracks exceeding the HCA’s self-healing capacity.
