For 50 years, The World of Concrete (WOC) has held its annual convention in Las Vegas. Dubbed "ComicCon for concrete guys" by Kevin Thornton, an executive at the company that runs the 700,000-square-foot event, the WOC showcases cutting-edge equipment, high-tech materials and new methods for everything concrete. Also held each year during the three-day convention is the SpecMix Bricklayer 500, a masonry competition where the "world's best mason" is crowned and celebrated with cash prizes and a new truck. Correspondent Conor Knighton pulls us into this universe.

Humans are funny 😂🫶🏻 But honestly, concrete is such an incredible material. Its modern formulation and application is one of the great revolutions of the XXth century which changed not only the way we build, but simultaneously the overall aesthetics of modernity in architecture and design.

The vast majority of people these days just walk around staring down at their phones with little to no consideration or appreciation for how our buildings & infrastructure actually get built. Meanwhile, skilled craftspeople like the ones in this video are hard at work, day in & day out, physically building & maintaining our world to make civilized life possible for the masses.

Quarrying massive stones and transporting them across the country will definitely have a lower cost and carbon footprint than locally produced concrete.
