The organisers of the 3485 Conexpo event are offering a comprehensive education programme at the exhibition, as well as at its partner IFPE 2014 event. This is intended to help attendees sharpen their professional skills and improve their business efficiency and productivity. Industry experts will be on hand to share the latest operational techniques and management strategies, with sessions offered at varying times throughout the shows for attendees to maximise their time onsite.

For Conexpo there are 120 sessions across 10 tracks to target a range of attendee interests. These include equipment management and maintenance, safety and regulations, recycling and preservation, earthmoving and site development, business management best practices, and workforce development. They also include aggregates, asphalt, concrete, and cranes and rigging. A new education ticket Plan allows attendees flexibility to choose sessions onsite.
