Futurist Jack Uldrich to deliver a keynote address at the 61st Annual APAI Convention.

 This morning in Des Moines, distinguished guest speaker Jack Uldrich will deliver his keynote address, “The Big A-HA! How to Future-Proof against Tomorrow’s Transformational Transportation Trends, Today.”

In his talk, he will discuss the latest game-changing technology to impact the Asphalt Paving Association of Iowa and the best approach to embracing the onslaught of change that is fast approaching the industry.

"You must strive to enhance your awareness of changes on the horizon; have enough humility to acknowledge that what served your business well in the past might not be sufficient tomorrow, and be willing to take action in the face of less-than-perfect information."​
