by Kerry L. Clines, Associate Editor

It’s not too late to register for CONEXPO-CON/AGG, but time is getting short. In just two months, from March 11th through the 15th, the Las Vegas Convention Center will be filled with the latest in construction equipment, products, services, and technologies.

An estimated 125,000 industry professionals from around the world are expected to attend the show. The exhibition attracts people involved in all segments of the construction, aggregates, and ready-mixed concrete industries, including contractors, materials producers, and government and institutional-sector officials. With that many attendees from so many different places, the networking possibilities are endless.

Show Details

Two-thousand-plus exhibitors will occupy 2.1-million net square feet of indoor and outdoor exhibit space, giving you a chance to check out what’s new, ask questions, and make decisions about purchases. The show will be divided into product concentration areas, grouping similar products and companies together, to make it easier for you to locate specific products, services, and exhibitors of interest. An expanded system of interactive product locators will be on the show floor so you can search for exhibits by company or product. Fully staffed information stands will be set up throughout the show to provide information about exhibits, seminars, and meetings.

The education program will once again provide seminars emphasizing industry issues and trends, management, and applied technology. There will be more than 120 sessions to choose from.

CONEXPO-CON/AGG is recognized as an industry gathering place for the worldwide construction and construction materials industries. More than 300 industry meetings, including several annual conventions of industry associations, are expected to be held in conjunction with the show this year.

There will be 10 international pavilions at the show this year representing Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, Germany, Italy, Korea, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. These pavilions will provide an opportunity for you to examine a broader range of business solutions and develop global industry contacts.

Don’t forget to go online and map out your visit ahead of time using the show’s interactive Virtual Trade Show, which includes an interactive floor plan of exhibits. You can make a personalized list of companies and products you most want to see, saving you time at the show.

An expanded shuttle bus system will transport you from your hotel to and from the convention center, and an intra-show shuttle bus system will take you from one area of the show to another.
