LAS VEGAS, Nev. (November 21, 2025) – Sunday, November 23 marks 100 days until the construction industry will unite as 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.
CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 will feature 2,000 exhibitors across 2.9 million square feet of exhibit space and 50 first-class 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.
“In 100 days, 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.
