Conexpo Countdown

It's just six days now before the biggest trade show in North America Conexpo-Con/AGG 2020 opens its doors for business and for the Digger Man Blog this will be our first time attending the event, which we hope will still be a great show despite the spectre of the corona virus threat trying to ruin the party!

Conexpo Countdown

CONEXPO-CON/AGG is the largest construction show to be held in 2020 – it is expected to attract a global audience of approximately 120,000 people and will take place in Las Vegas, US, from 10-14 March.

Interest is high and according to the organizers more than 38,000 individuals registered for the event between Jan 10th and 17th, setting a record-breaking total of registrations for a single week. Around 2,500 exhibitors are set to appear at the show bringing with them around 500 new products to showcase.

 “We’re thrilled to see this kind of energy and enthusiasm with last week’s record-breaking attendee registrations,” said Dana Wuesthoff, vice president of exhibitions at the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), which manages the trade show.

If I’m honest I’m more of a Bauma type of guy and as we know that show takes some beating as the daddy of all trade shows, but its going to be interesting to see things from an American perspective for a change, so I’m pretty excited to be attending.

For a flavour of what Conexpo is like and what to expect, I checked out this mini movie produced by a visitor to the last show in 2017.
