Organizers of ConExpo-Con/Agg say the show has officially sold all available exhibit space, making the 2023 edition 5% larger in square footage than the previous show, held in 2020.
The show will feature 1,800 exhibitors and 150 education sessions during its run from March 14-18, 2023, at the Las Vegas Convention Center and Festival Grounds.
The Las Vegas Convention Center has upgraded its facilities since the last show, adding the new 1.4-million-square-foot West Hall exhibit area and the Diamond Lot.
The West Hall will house earthmoving exhibitors, including Bobcat, Case Construction Equipment, Hitachi Construction Machinery, Hyundai Construction Equipment, Komatsu, Wacker Neuson and more.
The Diamond Lot, located on the site of the former Riviera Casino, will be occupied by concrete, hauling, land clearing, trucking and underground construction exhibitors. Large exhibitors in the lot include Astec Industries, Bandit Industries, Morbark, Trail King Industries and Vermeer Corporation.
“The addition of the new West Hall and Diamond Lot at the Las Vegas Convention Center gave us, and our exhibitors, a number of new opportunities to show how we are taking the construction industry to the next level,” says Dana Wuesthoff, show director for ConExpo-Con/Agg. “Now at 2.8 million square feet of exhibits, there’s more for construction pros to see than ever before.”
Show officials say that despite being the largest show ever, it will be easier to get around thanks to the new Convention Center Loop, an underground transportation system designed by Elon Musk’s The Boring Company. The system can move convention attendees throughout the campus in under 2 minutes in Tesla vehicles, free of charge.
