Here it comes again. The next ConExpo-Con\/Agg will be held March 14-18, 2023, in Las Vegas. ConExpo-Con\/Agg is the largest construction, aggregates and mining trade show in North America and the premier event that connects professionals from every major construction sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held every three years, ConExpo-Con\/Agg takes the industries to the next level by helping attendees elevate their industry expertise, experience the newest equipment and products through demonstrations and industry-leading education, make new professional connections, and grow their own marketability within the industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ConExpo-Con\/Agg, already recognized as the largest trade show in North America, has officially sold all available exhibit space, guaranteeing the 2023 edition of the show will be the biggest in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe addition of the new West Hall and Diamond Lot at the Las Vegas Convention Center gave us, and our exhibitors, a number of new opportunities to show how we are taking the construction industry to the next level,\u201d said ConExpo-Con\/Agg Show director Dana Wuesthoff. \u201cNow at 2.8 million square feet of exhibits, there\u2019s more for construction pros to see than ever before.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The show, now nearly 5% bigger than the record set in 2020, will feature 1,800 exhibitors and 150 education sessions during its five-day run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite being the largest ConExpo-Con\/Agg ever, recent additions to the Las Vegas Convention Center (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\u2019s The Boring Company that transports convention attendees throughout the campus in under two minutes in Tesla vehicles, free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to welcome ConExpo-Con\/Agg back to Las Vegas for another record-setting event,\u201d said Brian Yost, chief operating officer of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), which owns and operates the LVCC. \u201cThe addition of the West Hall and the Convention Center Loop will only further enhance the \u2018Only Vegas\u2019 experience for attendees and exhibitors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industry professionals 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the event that construction professionals, especially those making company-level decisions, and those needing professional development hours, can\u2019t miss,\u201d said ConExpo-Con\/Agg Show Chair and Caterpillar Senior Vice President Phil Kelliher. \u201cSeeing the new equipment and techniques on a screen doesn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Education<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe biggest value in making the trip to Vegas to come to ConExpo-Con\/Agg is learning, and I don\u2019t mean just learning about the latest and greatest equipment on display,\u201d said Wuesthoff. \u201cThe education offerings at ConExpo-Con\/Agg have always stood out for their focus on helping construction professionals build both their skillsets and their overall businesses acumen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With construction technology around sustainability significantly advancing in recent years, ConExpo-Con\/Agg is already set to have the biggest focus on sustainability since the show began in 1948.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe construction industry and ConExpo-Con\/Agg are evolving in many ways to adapt and showcase sustainable technologies, products and practices supporting a more sustainable world,\u201d said Wuesthoff. \u201cMore than ever, show attendees will see sustainability in action, from electric and hydrogen powered construction equipment, to more recyclable materials and waste reduction opportunities, to changes we\u2019re making to the show to better support sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability in Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest sustainability efforts on the part of ConExpo-Con\/Agg directly is a newly announced partnership between the show and the Arbor Day Foundation. The partnership is working toward planting 130,000 trees in forests of greatest need, one for every show registrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, ConExpo-Con\/Agg exhibitors and attendees can contribute to the Arbor Day Foundation\u2019s funds, allowing them to further their goal of involving themselves in its mission of planting, nurturing and celebrating trees around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each dollar contributed to the Arbor Day Foundation will result in one tree being planted in a forest in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Arbor Day Foundation is excited to be the official nonprofit sustainability partner of ConExpo-Con\/Agg,\u201d said Becca Hebbard, corporate partnerships manager for the Arbor Day Foundation. \u201cAs one of the world\u2019s most trusted and experienced tree planting organizations, we work with organizations of all sizes to help them meet their corporate sustainability, ESG, and CSR goals. Whether you\u2019re looking to help protect biodiversity, contribute to wildfire recovery, bring the benefits of trees to a community in need, or add verified forestry carbon credits to your emissions reduction strategy, the Arbor Day Foundation is uniquely positioned to connect you with meaningful projects all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ConExpo-Con\/Agg has given sustainability its own education track in its seminar offerings, now with 13 sessions dedicated to the topic. Those sessions tackle subjects like getting and managing electric construction equipment, carbon neutrality, and a \u201cSustainability 101\u201d session for attendees just now starting their sustainability journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sustainability efforts at ConExpo-Con\/Agg reflect the focus on sustainability within the entire construction industry. Many companies have realized that clients are demanding sustainable building practices more with each project, and contractors themselves are recognizing the benefits of moving to more sustainable equipment and practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
