The organisers of the ICUEE 2011 equipment exhibition in the US report a major success for this event, which closed recently. This was the second largest ICUEE event in the history of this show, attracting nearly 16,600 registered attendees. More than 800 exhibitors took more than 101,190m2 for product displays and extensive hands-on equipment demonstrations in job-like conditions. The 2011 International Construction and Utility Equipment Exposition (ICUEE) was held October 4th-6th, 2011 at the Kentucky Exposition Centre in Louisville, Kentucky. Registrants came from all 50 states, all 10 Canadian provinces and more than 40 other countries worldwide. ICUEE 2011 also offered a broader scope of education than ever before to extend the value of the show experience, and expanded industry co-locations. The Association of Equipment Management Professionals (AEMP) sponsored a new Fleet Management Exhibit Pavilion and also developed a show education track for fleet management professionals. ICUEE's online New Products & Technologies Preview returned, with special booth floor mats on the show floor to identify participating companies. Many exhibitors also signed up for the new online Technical Experts Directory, which alerted attendees to the many industry experts onsite ready to discuss specific job performance needs with them. These programs and the online Show Planner exhibitor listings will remain on the show website for the next several months. Also known as The Demo Expo, the biennial ICUEE is geared to industry professionals in the electric, phone and cable, sewer and water, gas, general construction, landscaping and public works sectors.
