Take Charge Of The Future: Education At Conexpo-Con/AGG And IFPE 2020
Education is always a vital component of both CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE to help attendees not only survive, but thrive in a changing and global industry.
Attendees at the 2020 shows can take advantage of more than 180 education sessions packed with timely and actionable information, developed with the guidance of leading industry groups, and delivered by industry experts.
New for 2020 are mix-and-match sessions between CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE for company teams to cost-effectively obtain learning sessions targeted to their needs.
“The line-up of programming is not only larger than it has ever been but includes a fresh line-up of speakers stacked side-by-side with core programming that is always highly attended,” said Eileen Dickson, vice president education, National Ready Mixed Concrete Association and CONEXPO-CON/ AGG Education Committee chair.
CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020 education features 10 tracks covering a variety of equipment applications, site development, fleet management, business best practices, technology, safety, and attracting and retaining talent.
IFPE education is grouped in two tracks: Hydraulics & Pneumatics at Work and The Business of Fluid Power. Its popular College Courses return, and new is an IFPE Research Symposium.
CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE are North America’s premiere events for the construction industries and the fluid power, power transmission and motion control industries. One ticket provides access to both of the co-located shows, set for March 10-14 in Las Vegas, USA.
CONEXPO-CON/AGG Education – Targeting the Construction Industries CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020 education tracks will offer the latest trends and best practices focused on: aggregates; asphalt; concrete; cranes, rigging and aerial lifts; earthmoving and site development; equipment management and maintenance; business management; and safety; plus technology solutions and attracting, engaging and retaining talent.
“The education committee took great care in putting together a program that grows attendee knowledge on building their business on all fronts, whether the technical skills needed in the field or best practices to build their business,” said Graham Brent, CEO of the NCCCO Foundation and CONEXPO-CON/AGG Education Committee vice chair.

IFPE Networking Reception
To add to the great education sessions and the over 400 exhibitors, in 2020 IFPE will be hosting for the first time a special networking reception for engineers and executives, right on the show floor. The IFPE’s Fluid Power Hour, presented by Bosch Rexroth, will be held on March 11 from 4pm to 6pm on the IFPE show floor. The event includes a bonus hour on the IFPE show floor, complimentary hors ‘d oeuvres and cocktails and entertainment.
“AEM and the National Fluid Power Association are proud to bring together a unique combination of engineers and executives at IFPE 2020, both in booths and in aisles, to share ideas, educate one another, and ultimately shape the future of the construction industry through collaboration and consensus,” said John Rozum, director, ag events at AEM and IFPE show director. “There’s simply no better place for engineers to find new ideas, new people and new solutions to significant organisational challenges than a trade show floor.
The Tech Experience Returns With Two Locations
A 10 by 22-foot city replica, demonstrating how a smart city, through sensors and analytics, will be able to transform information into digestible data, providing knowledge for the city to work smarter.
The replica will be just one of the many items on display at CONEXPO-CON/AGG in the Tech Experience and will showcase several scenarios, including:
- Different city grids and how a city responds to heat, wind and storms.
- Connectivity in the city, including 5G, sensors, telematics and IOT
- Impacts of construction. The jobsite of the future within the city and how equipment will communicate will also be on display.
“We were beyond excited to reveal the Smart City today,” said Al Cevero, senior vice president construction, mining & utility at the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM). “Our goal for the Tech Experience in 2020 is to show contractors how all of these exciting new technologies will impact their current work, how the expectations and demands of customers will change and how the current state of infrastructure may change.”
CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE come around every three years for a can’t-miss event. No other shows bring together as many segments of the construction industries and of the fluid power, power transmission and motion control industries in one place.
Attendees will have up-close access to the leading manufacturers and suppliers, latest product innovations, and knowledge resources to help their businesses thrive.
