The Pit & Quarry Roundtable & Conference will return to Florida in 2026.

The magazine will host the event Jan. 27-28 at La Playa Beach & Golf Resort in Naples, Florida.

The Roundtable is an annual Pit & Quarry event presenting aggregate producers with a plethora of opportunities to network with equipment manufacturers, dealers and other leaders from around the industry. Producers who attend get industry updates related to legislation, regulation and safety, as well as a forecast for the year to come on construction materials.

A key component of the 2026 Roundtable will once again be roundtable-style discussions between the event’s attendees. Topics discussed at the 2025 Roundtable were the business environment, equipment and technology, safety and health, and others.

Another component of next year’s Roundtable is a golf outing that’s open to all attendees.

Roundtable history

Ronaldo Dos Santos (pictured far right) says Anderson Columbia takes two approaches to technology selection. “One is a more proactive approach. When we are doing the planning and budgeting, if we see some costs that are not trending the way we would like, that’s where we start the discussion with our plant managers and supervisors. The reactive approach is once we set our goals, if we’re not achieving those goals, that might trigger some initiatives where we try to either change procedures or invest in equipment.” Photo: PamElla Lee Photography

Pit & Quarry first hosted the event that morphed into the modern-day Roundtable & Conference in 1996. Originally dubbed the Equipment & Technology Suppliers Roundtable, the event incorporated aggregate producers in its early years and was eventually rebranded as the Pit & Quarry Roundtable & Conference.

Pit & Quarry takes the Roundtable to different U.S. cities each year after hosting the inaugural meeting in Cleveland at the corporate office of the magazine’s parent company. Florida is often a destination for the Roundtable, with premier venues in Bonita Springs, Coral Gables and Palm Beach Gardens serving as past hosts. Other cities that hosted a Roundtable over the last 25 years are Chicago, Nashville, and Asheville, North Carolina.

The magazine hosted its 2025 Roundtable in January at The Wigwam Resort in Phoenix. Pit & Quarry’s 32-page report fully dedicated to the 2025 Roundtable can be accessed here.
