The largest trade show in North America, CONEXPO-CON/AGG, is set to be the biggest show yet in 2023.
“The addition of the new West Hall and Diamond Lot at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) gave us, and our exhibitors, a number of new opportunities to show how we are taking the construction industry to the next level,” CONEXPO-CON/AGG Show Director Dana Wuesthoff said.
“Now at 2.8 million square feet of exhibits, there’s more for construction pros to see than ever before.”
The show, now nearly 5 per cent bigger than the record set in 2020, will feature 1,800 exhibitors and 150 education sessions during its run from 14-18 March.
Despite being the largest CONEXPO-CON/AGG ever, recent additions to the LVCC will make it the easiest to get around as well. Beneath the entire LVCC campus runs the Convention Center Loop, an underground transportation system designed by Elon Musk’s The Boring Company that transports convention attendees throughout the campus in under two minutes in Tesla vehicles, free of charge.
“We are excited to welcome CONEXPO-CON/AGG back to Las Vegas for another record-setting event,” Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) Chief Operating Officer Brian Yost said.
“The addition of the West Hall and the Convention Center Loop will only further enhance the ‘Only Vegas’ experience for attendees and exhibitors.”
Construction pros are ready for the show to return as well. The current pace of attendee registration is nearly double what it was for the 2020 show.
“This is the event that construction professionals, especially those making company-level decisions, and those needing professional development hours, can’t miss,” CONEXPO-CON/AGG Show Chair and Caterpillar Senior Vice President Phil Kelliher said.
“Seeing the new equipment and techniques on a screen doesn’t compare to seeing it all in person. At the show, you can see the equipment, ask questions of the manufacturers themselves, and really understand what the equipment and education can do for your career and business.”
Registration for CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE is currently 30 per cent off with code MEDIA30. Construction and fluid power pros should get their badges before 6 January to get the discount and have a better pick of hotel accommodations.
