Bituminous Conference History

The first Illinois Bituminous Paving Conference was held in 1960 and organized by the National Asphalt Paving Association. It was envisioned and implemented by Moreland Herrin, who was a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. At the 50th annual conference in 2009, Herrin was honored for his many contributions to the conference.
