A Latin American Road Building Conference for contractors, equipment buyers and suppliers interested in the latest trends in road building technology and highway investment in the region will take place on October 20 2015 in Santiago, Chile, the day before 7305 CONEXPO Latin America 2015 opens. The new show, which will be held from October 21 2015 to October 24 2015 in Santiago, wants “education (to be) an important component of the 3485 CONEXPO show experience, extending the value of exhibits and networking opportunities,” said show owner and organiser, the 1100 Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM). The conference will also feature case studies.

AEM says that is also “working with leading industry associations and organisations to present a well-rounded slate of education for attendees, including programmes on industry economic trends, telematics, dealer/distributor issues, crane safety, and mobile elevating work platform, concrete and aggregates-related topics.”   

The conference, which is being organised in partnership with the KHL Group, will take place at the Grand Hyatt Santiago hotel, located between the Vitacura and Las Condes districts of Santiago. The venue is “a 10-minute taxi ride (away from) the Espacio Riesco exhibition centre, the venue for CONEXPO Latin America,” says AEM.

“Latin America’s road network is receiving hundreds of billions of dollars of inward investment every year and is generating an estimated US$10 billion in annual sales of road building equipment,” the conference organisers claim.
