CONEXPO 2026 PREVIEW

CONEXPO CON/AGG

CONEXPO-CON/AGG returns to the Las Vegas Convention Center March 3-7, to showcase the people, products, and innovations shaping what comes next for the built world.

CONEXPO-CON/AGG brings the entire construction ecosystem together in one place, giving over 139,000 construction professionals access to equipment manufacturers, technology innovators, workforce trailblazers and the thought leaders who are changing the world through infrastructure, innovation and leadership.

2026 in a nutshell

CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 will feature 2,000 exhibitors across 2.9 million square feet of exhibit space and 50 firstclass educational sessions designed to help construction and aggregate industry professionals stay ahead of the emerging technologies, workforce trends and sustainability practices shaping the industry’s future.

“CONEXPO-CON/AGG brings the industry together to see the innovations, connect with the leaders and meet the makers who are redefining how the world is built,” said Dana Wuesthoff, Show Director of CONEXPO-CON/AGG. “This is where you see how technology, equipment and people are transforming infrastructure, workforce development and community impact. It is not just about observing the future. It is about standing in the middle of it and connecting with the industry leaders who are building it.”

Wuesthoff said CONEXPO-CON/AGG was designed with purpose, recognizing that time is one of the most valuable assets for today’s contractors and business owners.

“Instead of attending multiple niche events, CONEXPO-CON/AGG gives you a single, powerful platform to see equipment, experience technology, learn from innovators across every segment of construction,” said Wuesthoff.

Breaking New Ground: The Ground Breakers Keynote Stage

Debuting in 2026, The Ground Breakers Stage, is spotlighting the people, policies, and technologies driving the construction industry forward. Sessions will explore topics such as:

↘ Artificial intelligence and next-gen tools transform jobsite safety and productivity.

↘ Sustainability strategies for reshaping materials and methods.

↘ Workforce growth and mental health across the construction sector.

This is where attendees will hear from visionaries who are pushing boundaries and changing the way the world builds.

The Community Zone: Where Conversations and Connections Happen

Designed as a hub for collaboration and relaxation, the Community Zone is where attendees can pause, recharge, and reconnect during CONEXPO-CON/AGG.

Located near the entrance of the Festival Grounds, this open-access area welcomes all showgoers and brings together the people and perspectives shaping construction today. Attendees can listen to informal presentations, live podcast recordings and conversations with industry voices.

More than just a meeting spot, the Community Zone embodies the spirit of CONEXPO-CON/AGG: a place where connections spark new ideas, where partnerships begin, and where the construction community comes together to shape what comes next.

Because connections make construction and only at CONEXPO-CON/AGG is the industry brought together at this scale.
