Education will again be a vital component next year at ConExpo-Con/Agg, as well as the co-located IFPE.

Attendees at the 2020 shows will have the opportunity to take advantage of more than 180 education sessions that are developed with the guidance of leading industry groups and delivered by industry experts.

New for 2020 are mix-and-match sessions between ConExpo-Con/Agg and IFPE for company teams to cost-effectively obtain learning sessions targeted to their needs.

“The lineup of programming is not only larger than it has ever been but includes a fresh lineup of speakers stacked side-by-side with core programming that is always highly attended,” says Eileen Dickson, vice president education at the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, who serves as ConExpo-Con/Agg Education Committee chair.

ConExpo-Con/Agg 2020 education will feature 10 tracks covering a variety of equipment applications, site development, fleet management, business best practices, technology, safety, and attracting and retaining talent.

IFPE education is grouped in two tracks: “Hydraulics & Pneumatics at Work” and “The Business of Fluid Power.”

“The education committee took great care in putting together a program that grows attendee knowledge on building their business on all fronts, whether the technical skills needed in the field or best practices to build their business,” says Graham Brent, CEO of the NCCCO Foundation, who serves as ConExpo-Con/Agg Education Committee vice chair.

  • “Driving New Innovation at Complacent Companies,” led by James Benham of JB Knowledge
  • “Drones on Construction Sites for All Contractors,” led by Ryan Murguia and Zach Pieper of Quantum Land Design
  • “Gain a Competitive Advantage Through Construction Technology,” led by Tauhira Hoossainy of Milwaukee Tool
