Pit & Quarry, February 2014
come in smaller than they wanted ConExpo Con Agg overflows the Las Vegas Convention center Those areas have seen a bigger demand and are growing filling lots in the surrounding area with outdoor displays We saw this as an opportunity to allow these parent companies to put a little bit more emphasis in this area Really this is just the basis of the growth we expect to see in this area in the future We want to get started with a small pavilion start with some recognition in this area and perhaps offer some demonstrations in future years This group has a number of education sessions as well Its nice it crosses over with asphalt and concrete Weve been asking attendees whats kept them going through the recession and many talked about diversifying We saw a higher focus on demolition and recycling products P Q What else is new for 2014 MT Wayfinding is different and how attendees will cover the 23 million net sq ft We put more attention on how wayfinding affects the contractor getting off the bus or monorail Weve enhanced their ability to find what theyre looking for One of those ways is people power When you arrive somewhere there will be people who will walk you where you want to go We also have an enhanced mobile app search ConExpo Con Agg 2014 in the App Store that you can download onto your smartphone or tablet that will take you where you need to go Not everyone wants to navigate electronically so having that person you can ask a question to rather than getting frustrated in a sea of equipment is an alternative P Q Can you somehow quantify how much work goes into planning ConExpo Con Agg and what kind of an undertaking executing a trade show of this magnitude is MT Ive been here a while and I remember when this was one of the only shows we did Well it takes a lot of planning Now we have a depth of staff and we are able to work on this show and others that coincide with ConExpo Con Agg COUNTDOWN TO CONEXPO CON AGG 2014 58 PIT QUARRY February 2014 www pitandquarry com
