The Milwaukee-based Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has started the registration process for prospective attendees of the 2026 version of the triennial ConExpo-Con/Agg heavy equipment trade fair.
The 2026 event will again take place in Las Vegas from March 3-7.
“The show brings together every major sector of the construction industry to explore the latest equipment, innovations and technologies—up close and hands on,” AEM says.
“From groundbreaking technologies to lasting partnerships, every moment at the show is designed to inspire progress, spark new ideas and propel the construction industry forward,” Show Director Dana Wuesthoff adds.
While the equipment on display at ConExpo is of interest to the construction industry, much of the displayed machinery also has applications in the demolition and recycling sectors.
In addition to visiting trade fair booths, attendees can attend sessions held on the Ground Breakers keynote stage and attend specialized workshops.
“These enhancements will provide unparalleled access to cutting-edge advancements, essential knowledge and valuable opportunities throughout the construction sector,” AEM says.
“For exhibitors, this is a rare and invaluable opportunity to connect directly with thousands of decision-makers, showcase state-of-the art products to an international audience and gain firsthand insight into the evolving needs of the marketplace,” says Eric Sauvage, 2026 show chair who also is president and CEO of Lexington, Kentucky-based LBX Co.
AEM expects some 2,000 exhibitor at the 2026 ConExpo event, who combined will share nearly 2.9 million square feet of exhibit space. The program features some 150 sessions on technology, safety, workforce development and other management topics.
Online registration for ConExpo, including with options for early timing or association affiliation discounts, is now accessible through the event’s website.
“There is a wide array of equipment, manufacturers, products, technology, education and people and the show is very large, allowing for ample opportunity to explore specific interests," says Spencer Johnson of Waukesha, Wisconsin-based design firm Payne + Dolan Inc.
