3485 CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017 will feature a streamlined show layout. This is intended to help visitors looking for certain types of equipment or technology to compare competing solutions with greater ease. According to the organisers, the reconfigured CONEXPO-CON/AGG layout is designed to create better synergy between outdoor and indoor space product areas and make it easier for attendees to navigate the show.

“CONEXPO-CON/AGG is guided by volunteer industry leaders and we want to most effectively connect the exhibitors and attendees and deliver a quality show experience; these improvements will help us achieve that goal,” said Rich Goldsbury, 2017 CONEXPO-CON/AGG chair and president of 1130 Bobcat and 695 Doosan.

The next CONEXPO-CON/AGG will be March 7-11, 2017 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, USA. Attendee registration will open in summer 2016.

As part of the new layout, the Gold Lot includes an expanded Gold Hall and now extends to Las Vegas Boulevard, using the site of the demolished Riviera Hotel. A new Bronze lot (with Bronze Hall) has been added south of South Hall, extending the length of the building. Both lots will feature Registration areas as well as registration in the Westgate Convention Center (formerly Las Vegas Hilton) adjacent to North Hall. Show management cited increased demand for exhibit space as a major factor in the show floor redesign to make optimum use of available space.

“Demand has been stronger than ever, especially for indoor space, and we worked with the Las Vegas Convention Center to explore all options; we are confident this show footprint will enhance ROI for all stakeholders,” explained show director Sara Truesdale Mooney.
