The AEM is keen to emphasise that the CONEXPO-CON/AGG construction machinery exhibition will go ahead as planned

The organisers of the CONEXPO-CON/AGG construction machinery exhibition are keen to emphasise that the event is still going ahead in Las Vegas. The organisers report an encouraging registration trend, having added an additional 4,031 new registrations since Friday, February 28th. The organisers understand concerns about coronavirus are of concern, and want to be as transparent as possible and share information about what is being done to prepare for the CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE shows in Las Vegas.
 
Here are some facts about the attendee base for the show: 92% of registrants are from North America;  8% are from international counties outside of North America; 2.5% of the 8% were registered from Asia and many have cancelled.
 
In regards to cancellations, new registrations have continued to outpace the attendee cancellations received. Most cancellations, under 700, are from international audiences. To put this in perspective, this represents less than 1% of the total expected.
