ConExpo returns with new stages, educational seminars and after-hours networking
In less than two weeks, the construction industry will take over Las Vegas for ConExpo-Con/Agg 2026.
Held every three years, ConExpo unites the entire construction ecosystem, giving more than 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.
This year, the massive trade show returns to the Las Vegas Convention Center from March 3 to 7.
The 2026 edition of ConExpo will feature about 2,000 exhibitors covering 2.9 million square feet of exhibit space as well as numerous educational sessions to help construction and aggregate industry professionals master 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 added the trade show is designed with purpose, recognizing 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 and learn from innovators across every segment of construction,” Wuesthoff said.
At ConExpo 2026, attendees will be able to revisit their favourite show features, as well as take in new experiences.
Breaking new ground
A new element added to ConExpo this year is the Ground Breakers Stage, which serves as a spotlight on the people, policies and technologies driving the construction industry.
Attendees will hear from visionaries who are pushing boundaries and changing the way the world builds.
The Community Zone
Designed as a hub for collaboration and relaxation, the Community Zone is where attendees can pause, recharge and reconnect during ConExpo.
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 aims to embody the spirit of the show as a place where connections spark new ideas, where partnerships begin and where the construction community comes together.
Workshops
New workshops like the EmpowerHER, Small Business and Shop Talks & Walks workshops, will deliver peer-led insights for women in construction, entrepreneurs and maintenance professionals.
Shop Talks & Walks is hands-on training focused on preventive maintenance, fleet efficiency and real-world equipment solutions. The EmpowerHER Workshop is held in celebration of Women in Construction Week 2026. The session connects women industry-wide for mentorship and inspiration.
The Small Business Workshop is dedicated to helping small business owners and family-run firms strengthen operations and build partnerships.
Education sessions
The ConExpo education program delivers the construction industry’s most comprehensive learning experiences, giving attendees more ways to learn, connect and stay ahead of emerging trends. With more sessions, speakers and specialized tracks than ever before in 2026, the education program covers everything from sustainability and workforce development to equipment management, business practices and safety.
Tracks are tailored to core construction sectors, including aggregates, asphalt, cranes and rigging, earthmoving, and technology solutions.
After dark
When the show floor closes, ConExpo continues with After Dark, a three-night series of exclusive networking events across Las Vegas.
The after-hours event begins Tuesday, March 3, with the After Dark Kickoff Party at Atomic Golf, featuring live music, open bar and interactive bays for a one-of-a-kind social experience.
Wednesday’s Beer Tasting Experience offers a relaxed atmosphere with curated tastings and a live DJ, while Thursday’s Nightlife Experience brings attendees together at one of the city’s top clubs for a high-energy close to the week.
Each event is open to attendees 21 and older and provides an opportunity to unwind, connect, and build industry relationships beyond the show floor.
