ConExpo-Con/Agg, IFPE draw 120,000 to Las Vegas
March 28, 2011About 120,000 people attended ConExpo-Con/Agg 2011 and the co-located IFPE shows – the global industry gathering place for the year and the largest gathering in North America since 2008 for the construction, construction materials and fluid power/power transmission/motion control industries. The events, which drew about 145,000 attendees in 2008, were held March 22-26 in Las Vegas. "The construction industry has been through some very tough times, with record unemployment, since the last ConExpo-Con/Agg and IFPE in March 2008. With these positive numbers and the industry support of the shows, we’re optimistic about the future and looking forward to seeing these new sales orders fulfilled," said Megan Tanel, AEM vice president of exhibitions and events. International registrations accounted for a record 24 percent of the total, representing more than 150 countries. There were more than 2,400 exhibitors covering more than 2.34 million net sq. ft. of exhibit space. IFPE was the largest ever, and ConExpo-Con/Agg’s exhibit space was the second largest in the show’s history.
