CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2011 a Success

The mood was overwhelmingly positive at the CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE 2011 expositions held March 22-26 in Las Vegas. Despite continued uncertainty in U.S. construction markets, and the over-all economy, industry professionals expressed hopeful optimism for a sustained U.S. upturn in the coming months, while global sales continue to be strong.

CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE 2011 attracted nearly 120,000 registered attendees; the shows were the global industry gathering place for 2011, and the largest gathering in North America since 2008 for the construction, construction materials and fluid power/power transmission/motion control industries.     
Attendees were there to examine the newest equipment and product technologies and innovations to help them prepare for future business.

A record number of more than 860 co-located events, educational programs and pre-planned meetings were held with the shows, plus dozens of meetings scheduled onsite. Co-locations included ICON Expo for the concrete products industry and several annual conferences of national industry associations, including the CMRA.
