The organisers of the 3485 CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE exhibition from March 7th-11th 2017 are offering attendees in-depth industry education. In addition to exhibits, CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE 2017 will feature, flexible education ticket options to fit attendee needs and schedules.

Attendees will also have access to the new 6,970m2 Tech Experience area, which will showcase ideas and technologies to transform the future of construction, boosting safety, productivity and profitability. The organisers are also offering special deals for those who register early. Attendees can save 40% by registering by January 13th 2017.

The event will be run at the Las Vegas Convention Centre in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The show will highlight the latest technologies, products and best practices for the construction and construction materials and fluid power/power transmission/motion control industries.

The show Badge-Pack includes a multi-day Las Vegas monorail pass and coach bus transportation between most official hotel partners. The Badge-Pack covers admission to both exhibitions, with a combined seven different lots and halls already spanning more than 232,250m2 of exhibit space. This is a record for the show, while over 2,500 exhibitors are expected and nearly 700 new exhibitors are already signed up.

New, for added convenience, pre-registered attendees can pick up their Badge-Packs at 10 Las Vegas hotels and the Las Vegas McCarran International Airport. And the shows have added a third full-service registration area onsite for speed and convenience (registration areas at Las Vegas Convention Centre Gold Lot and Bronze Lot and Westgate Hotel adjacent to North Hall).

A mobile app will link to the online planner. Attendees can stay connected with show updates to maximise their time and stay organised with a personalised schedule of exhibitor and education details plus interactive 3-D maps.

The new Tech Experience will extend the technology shown on the show floor and is dedicated to presenting emerging construction innovations that are driving change and process improvements across the industry. “We’ve designed this as an engaging experience that will bring to life the trends and solutions that are developing now and emerging in the next several years for the jobsite, workforce and infrastructure,” said show director Sara Truesdale Mooney.

The Tech Experience will also feature a Tech Talks educational forum and spotlight the Infrastructure Vision 2050 initiative of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM).
