World of Concrete 2018 (WOC), the 43rd edition of the event, attracted nearly 60,000 registered professionals to Las Vegas and covered nearly 750,000 net sq. ft. of exhibit space.

“Having our largest event in nine years proves that the construction sector is going strong worldwide,” says Jackie James, group director of World of Concrete, which was held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. “Participants, both domestic and international, experienced the very best the industry has to offer in terms of suppliers, products, services and education, and we look forward to an even larger event at WOC 2019.”

Adds Kevin Archibald, show manager of World of Concrete: “WOC 2018 was an enormous success. Our team, along with our service providers, produced a fantastic show. We saw great attendee numbers, exceptional exhibits and a very solid rebook rate of 566,000 net sq. ft. of exhibit space, rebooking 76 percent of the total 2018 square footage on site for next year’s show.”
